SEPARABLE SYSTEM FOR APPLYING COMPRESSION AND THERMAL TREATMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a separable device for the application of compression and thermal therapy to a patient. A first section includes a reservoir, liquid pump and a thermal exchange system for the application of thermal therapy as well as a dock. The second section of the device includes an air compressor and at least one controller for the application of compression therapy and can be operated independently from the first section. Additionally, the second section may be engaged with a dock of the first section.

主权项

1. A compression and thermal application device comprising:
a first section including a reservoir a liquid pump, a thermal exchange system, at least one port in fluid communication with said reservoir, a first section controller for controlling the operation of the liquid pump and thermal exchange system, and a first electrical connection plug; a second section, physically separate from said first section, including an air compressor, at least one port in fluid communication with said air compressor, a second section controller for controlling the operation of the air compressor, and a second electrical connection plug; wherein said first section further includes a dock, said dock defining a cavity that accommodates said second section such that said cavity exhibits a shape corresponding to the shape of the second section such that said second section may only be docked within said cavity in a single orientation and wherein said dock includes said first electrical connection plug; said first electrical connection plug and said second electrical connection plug being oriented such that when said second section is docked in said dock of said first section, said first electrical connection plug and said second electrical connection plug are in electrical communication.
