Abstract
This invention is an apparatus for treating lymphedema having a sleeve (18) with inwardly projecting elastomeric fingers (24) and externally fitted pressure adjusting circular bands (38). When sleeve is fitted to a patient's limb, fingers impose a grid pattern of pressure points against skin of swollen limb. Space around and between pressure points provide under the skin channels through which lymphatic fluids are able to migrate up arm to the shoulder where healthy nodes process it and channel it to the large veins. Similar applications are applied to other limbs, hands, and feet with sleeves, and to shoulder, chest wall, and back with vests.
