Description

Lymph circulation compression cuff

The present invention relates to a compression cuff for lymph circulation, and more particularly, lymph circulation, which is used to induce smooth circulation of stagnant lymph by applying air pressure to a body part in which the lymphatic system such as lymph nodes and lymph vessels are damaged due to surgery or accident. It is about a pressure cuff.

In general, the lymphatic system is scattered throughout the body as a body organ that stores and circulates lymphatic fluid. However, when the body parts are damaged due to surgery or accidents and the lymphatic system is removed together, the lymphatic system such as lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes in the peripheral area is affected, and the lymph fluid circulates in the body. In this case, the circulation of the lymphatic fluid may be induced by massaging the body part or the peripheral part.

Conventionally, compression cuffs for forcibly circulating body fluids have been disclosed in a manner that inflates and deflates an airbag in contact with the body. In addition, most of the compression cuffs were worn on the arms or legs, and operated to simultaneously compress a wide area over the entire arm area or the entire leg area.

However, when the lymphatic system damage of the armpit or the groin area is caused by breast cancer or uterine cancer surgery, the conventional compression cuff is not able to press the corresponding body part or the compression effect is inadequately used.
