  • Publication number: 20230355245
    Abstract: An inflatable belt 100 for use in a BFR system with an outer belt material 102 hermetically sealed to an inner belt material 101 along a perimeter, thereby forming at least one inflatable chamber 103, the inflatable chamber having an input port 104 for accepting a gas into the chamber, the inflatable belt further comprising a first fastening means 110 in communication with the outer belt material, for attaching to a second fastening means 111 in communication with the outer belt material, thereby locking a circumference of the inflatable belt when wrapped around a user's limb, the inflatable belt providing sufficient volume and compliance so as to reduce spikes in pressure and thereby improve comfort and safety of the inflatable belt for use in restriction of blood flow for muscle development.
