EXTERNAL COUNTERPULSATION DEVICE HAVING A CURVILINEAR BED

摘要

An all-in-one external counterpulsation apparatus and method for minimizing end diastolic pressure that includes an internally housed fluid distribution assembly interconnecting a plurality of inflatable devices adapted to be received about the lower extremities of a patient and an internally housed compressed fluid source to be distributed by the fluid distribution assembly to the inflatable devices. The apparatus includes a curvilinear table with apertures adapted to provide communication between the inflatable devices and the fluid source.
