Publication number: 20230248579Abstract: This disclosure relates to compression garments, specifically to compression garments to promote lymphatic circulation and/or circulation of other bodily fluids. The garments can include compression actuator units that can apply a pull force on a strap of the compression garment to apply compression to an anatomical feature of the user. The compression actuator units can be actuated via contraction of a wire made of shape memory material. The compression actuator units can include a plurality of levers to amplify the effect of the contraction of the wire to provide a wide range of compressive forces to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Ryan Evans, Jarren Baldwin, John C. Pamplin, Connor Meehan, Jay Zuerndorfer, Anand Doraiswamy

Publication number: 20230117892Abstract: A compression garment having one or more flex frames that can be shortened or lengthened to apply or release a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of a user. The compression garment can have a wire made of shape memory material (shape memory alloy). A controller of the compression garment can supply an electrical input to the wire, generating heat that can cause the wire to contract such that the flex frame deflects to a shorter length to apply a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of the user. The one or more flex frames can be contracted in unison or in sequence to direct the flow of bodily fluids in the limb or other anatomical feature of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Anand Doraiswamy, Connor Meehan, Jay Zuerndorfer, Ian Kovacevich, John Pamplin, Jarren Baldwin

Publication number: 20220409437Abstract: This disclosure relates to compression garments, specifically to compression garments to promote lymphatic circulation. The garments can include flow directing units that have one or more angled teeth, struts, and/or lattices. A compressive force applied to the outer surface of the garment can be translated through the one or more angled teeth, struts, and/or lattices to urge fluid within a user to flow in one or more directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: John C. Pamplin, Connor Meehan, Jarren Baldwin, Anand Doraiswamy
