A counterpressure garment (10) primarily used in the treatment of a victim suffering from hypovolemic shock. The garment (10) is made of a resilient material, like elastic or a compressible material, like foam, or a combination of both, with a means for stretching or compressing the material to or near its stretch or compression limit and fastening it. This supplies the requisite counterpressure to increase blood circulation to the vital organs. |
