  • COMPRESSION ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20130085428
    Abstract: A compression assembly is adapted for placement on a body part for imparting compression therapy to the body part. The compression assembly includes a bladder and a bladder support. The bladder support and bladder have corresponding connection structure for mounting the bladder on the bladder support. In certain embodiments, the bladder is held in tension when mounted on the bladder support. In certain embodiments, the bladder support includes protrusions adapted for push-in reception in openings on the bladder for mounting the bladder on the bladder support, the bladder support is adjustable in length, and the bladder is foldable for adjusting the length of the bladder. Removable mounting of the bladder on the bladder support enables selective disposal of the bladders and bladder supports and interchangeability of different types of bladders with particular bladder supports.

  • Compression garment assembly
    Patent number: 8394043
    Abstract: A compression garment assembly comprises a compression garment adapted for placement on a body part in a self-retaining configuration and for removal from the body part. The compression garment has at least one inflatable bladder for applying compression to the body part. A portable controller unit is adapted for fluid connection to the inflatable bladder and is configured for cyclically inflating the bladder. The compression garment and portable controller unit are configured so that the portable controller unit must be disconnected from the compression garment before the compression garment can be removed from the body part. Loss of the portable controller unit by, for example, accidental disposal with the compression garment is thus prevented.

  • Actuation of Parallel Microfluidic Arrays
    Publication number: 20120138513
    Abstract: An improved actuator for use in a microfluidic particle sorting system utilizes a staggered packing scheme for a plurality of actuators used to selectively deflect a particle in an associated sorting channel from a stream of channels. An actuator block may be provided for housing a two-dimensional array of actuators, each configured to align with an actuation port in an associated sorting chip containing a plurality of sorting channels. The actuator block may include a built-in stressing means to pre-stress each actuator housed by the block. An actuator comprising a piezo-electric stack may employ contact-based electrical connection rather than soldered wires to improve packing density. The actuator may be an external actuator. That is, the external actuator is external to the substrate in which the sorting channels are formed.
