Physiologic device and method of treating the leg extremities

摘要

A physiologic device having a fluid filled compartment. This is surrounded by an outer sheath fastened to the foot. The sheath holds the compartment under the instep and directs the hydraulic forces into the ankle and lower leg. Pressure produced by walking on the fluid compartment is used to compress the lower leg. This prevents swelling and it can heal ulcers due to bad veins.
