Patent number: 9788738Abstract: A system and method prevents and diagnoses deep vein thrombosis in a body limb by providing a pressure sleeve having a plurality of individually fillable cells, the pressure sleeve being configurable to be placed around a body limb. A source fills each fillable cell individually, and a pressure sensor measures a pressure in a fillable cell. A controller establishes a fill sequence of each individually fillable cell and a fill time for each individually fillable cell. The controller causes a first individually fillable cell of the pressure sleeve to be filled to a predetermined pressure and causes the pressure of first individually fillable cell of the pressure sleeve to be measured while a second individually fillable cell of the pressure sleeve is filled. The controller determines a presence of deep vein thrombosis in a body limb having the pressure sleeve therearound based upon a measured pressure change in the first individually fillable cell of the pressure sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2013Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: MEDICAL COMPRESSION SYSTEMS (DBN) LTD.Inventors: Jacob Barak, Adi Dagan, Vitaly Rondel

Patent number: 8784346Abstract: An automatic portable ambulant miniaturized system for applying pneumatic pressure to a body limb including a portable ambulant hand-held fluid source unit, a conduit for delivering fluid generated by the unit, and a sleeve coupled to the conduit and adapted to envelop a body limb. The sleeve contains one or more individually inflatable cells, each cell being subdivided into two or more longitudinally extending confluent compartments along the axis of the body limb. The compartments are inflated and deflated essentially simultaneously by the portable fluid source unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2005Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Medical Compression Systems, (DBN) Ltd.Inventors: Jakob Barak, Yoav Naveh, Sharon Ehrlich

Patent number: 7637879Abstract: An automatic portable ambulant miniaturized system for applying pneumatic pressure to a body limb including a portable ambulant hand-held fluid source unit, a conduit for delivering fluid generated by the unit, and a pressure sleeve coupled to the conduit and adapted to envelop a body limb. The pressure sleeve contains individually inflatable cells, each cell being subdivided into longitudinally extending confluent intra-cell compartments along the axis of the body limb. The intra-cell compartments are inflated and deflated essentially simultaneously by the portable fluid source unit. To increase the peak venous velocity generated by any kind of external compressive force on a limb with any kind of tempo-spatial regime, the venous phasic flow is monitored to determine so that the venous flow generated by the external compressive force can be synchronized with the in-phasic natural venous flow.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2004Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Medical Compression Systems, (DBN) Ltd.Inventors: Jacob Barak, Adi Dagan, Amir Fabian

Patent number: 7591796Abstract: An automatic portable ambulant miniaturized system for applying pneumatic pressure to a body limb including a portable ambulant hand-held fluid source unit, a conduit for delivering fluid generated by the unit, a pressure accumulator, and a pressure sleeve coupled to the conduit and adapted to envelop a body limb. The pressure sleeve contains one or more individually inflatable cells, each cell being subdivided into two or more longitudinally extending confluent intra-cell compartments along the axis of the body limb. The intra-cell compartments are inflated and deflated essentially simultaneously by the portable fluid source unit. The pressure accumulator can be flexibly tethered to and pneumatically connected to the fluid source unit, but not integral thereof. The pressure accumulator can also be integral with the pressure sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2003Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Medical Compression Systems (DBN) Ltd.Inventors: Jacob Barak, Sarit Dimir Gelbart, Amir Fabian, Yaakov Nizan
