Therapeutic Compression Garments

US Patent:
2010005, Mar 4, 2010
Filed:
Feb 23, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/391051
Inventors:
Wade P. Farrow - College Station TX, US
Barry L. Creighton - College Station TX, US
Assignee:
FARROW MEDICAL INNOVATIONS, INC. - Bryan TX
International Classification:
A61F 13/06, A61N 1/02, A61L 15/00
US Classification:
602 63, 607149, 607 2, 607152, 602 75
Abstract:
A therapeutic compression apparatus includes a liner having a tubular body portion with a proximal opening for receiving a limb of a patient. The tubular body portion includes an inside region with an inside circumference that is sized to extend about and in contact with the limb. The inside circumference is substantially identical to a circumference of the limb at a respective area of contact. The tubular body portion includes an outside region having an outside circumference that varies from the inside circumference at respective cross-sections through the tubular body, such that a first function of a ratio of the difference between the inside circumference and the outside circumference at a respective cross-section through the tubular body, divided by the inside circumference at said respective cross-section, and a second function of the inside circumference at said respective cross-section determines, in part, a pressure exerted on the limb at said cross-section when compression is applied by said therapeutic compression apparatus.

Sheet-Based Compression Garment

US Patent:
2013029, Nov 7, 2013
Filed:
Jun 28, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/931582
Inventors:
Barry L. Creighton - College Station TX, US
International Classification:
A61F 13/00
US Classification:
602 75
Abstract:
A compression garment for treating edema is disclosed. The garment may include first and second bands. Each of the bands may comprise a first end, second end opposite the first end, and an intermediate portion located between the first and second ends. The first and second bands may each comprise short-stretch material having a maximum elastic elongation in the range of about 15% up to about 100%. The first band may wrap around a first portion of a patient's limb. The second band may wrap around a second portion of the limb. The first and second bands may be applied such that the intermediate portion of the first band and the intermediate portion of the second band abut without overlapping one another. Once applied, the garment may provide therapeutic compression to the patient's limb.

Compression-Garment Band Method

US Patent:
8251933, Aug 28, 2012
Filed:
Sep 21, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/239158
Inventors:
Wade P. Farrow - College Station TX, US
Barry L. Creighton - College Station TX, US
Assignee:
Farrow Medical Innovations, Inc. - Bryan TX
International Classification:
A61F 5/00
US Classification:
602 13, 602 23, 602 27
Abstract:
A therapeutic compression garment is disclosed. The compression garment may include a first band wrapping around a first portion of a limb. The first band may deliver to the first portion a first level of therapeutic compression. The compression garment may further include a second band connected to the first band and positioned adjacent thereto. The second band may wrap around a second portion of the limb. The width of the second band may be greater than the width of the first band. Accordingly, when the first and second bands are applied with equal tension, the level of therapeutic compression provided by the second band may be less than the level of therapeutic compression provided by the first band.

Trim-To-Fit Therapeutic Compression Garment System And Method

US Patent:
8376977, Feb 19, 2013
Filed:
Jun 27, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/169240
Inventors:
Wade P. Farrow - College Station TX, US
Barry L. Creighton - College Station TX, US
International Classification:
A61F 13/06
US Classification:
602 60, 602 63, 602 75
Abstract:
A method of treating a condition of a patient's limb is disclosed. The method may use a compression garment wrappable about the limb and a template comprising markings showing where to trim the compression garment to fit a smaller size limb. Measurements may be taken of a circumference of the limb of the patient. Next, the template may be positioned to overlay at least a portion of the compression garment. The compression garment may then be cut or trimmed proximate a marking of the markings matching the measurement.

Short Stretch Therapeutic Compression Device For The Extremity And Method

US Patent:
8529483, Sep 10, 2013
Filed:
Oct 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/576899
Inventors:
Wade P. Farrow - College Station TX, US
Barry L. Creighton - College Station TX, US
Assignee:
Farrow Medical Innovations Holdings LLC - Bryan TX
International Classification:
A61F 5/00
US Classification:
602 21, 602 20, 602 60, 602 64
Abstract:
A compression device to be wrapped around the distal extremity of a patient for use in moderate to severe swelling/lymphedema. The device includes a flexible planar compression material of preferably short-stretch compression material. Fasteners are attached to the first and second band portions. The compression material in preferred embodiment contains short-stretch compression material with 20%-60% stretch. The device is designed such that it may be used to augment compression to the hand when used in conjunction with compression to the fingers and arm. The device is designed to be applied easier with one hand.

Hybrid Compression Stocking

US Patent:
2011021, Sep 8, 2011
Filed:
May 16, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/108933
Inventors:
Wade P. Farrow - College Station TX, US
Barry L. Creighton - College Station TX, US
International Classification:
A61L 15/00
US Classification:
602 75
Abstract:
A compression stocking for compressing a limb is disclosed. The stocking may include a proximal tube, a distal tube, and an transition line or zone. The proximal tube may have a distal end and a proximal end and be configured to compress a proximal portion of a limb. The distal tube may have a distal end and a proximal end and be configured to compress a distal portion of the limb. The transition line or zone may provide a location where the distal end of the proximal tube connects to the proximal end of the distal tube. The transition line or zone may correspond to an abrupt change in magnitude between compression provided by the proximal tube and compression provided by the distal tube.
