  • Patent number: 10799415
    Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamic compression of venous tissue enable improved blood movement in the extremities. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a pressure pad provides a compressive force to a portion of the human body. The pressure pad is successively withdrawn and re-pressed against the body. In this manner, prevention and/or treatment of various medical conditions may be achieved, for example restless leg syndrome, edema, plantar fasciitis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, venous insufficiency, wound care, and/or the like.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 13, 2020
    Assignee: Avex, LLC

  • Patent number: 10369075
    Abstract: Insole compression systems apply intermittent pressure to a foot or other body part, for example in order to increase circulation and facilitate removal of metabolic waste. The insole compression systems, including actuators and batteries, may be fully contained within a removable insole, and are thus discreet and easy to use. In exemplary insole compression systems, extension springs and a torsion spring interact with an a-frame to deliver an approximately constant extension force.

  • Publication number: 20160331633
    Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamic compression of venous tissue enable improved blood movement in the extremities. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a pressure pad provides a compressive force to the venous plexus region of the foot. The pressure pad is successively withdrawn and re-pressed against the foot. Improved blood circulation may reduce the occurrence of undesirable complications such as deep vein thrombosis, ulcers, and the like.
