Leg Elevation Device

US Patent:

2013006, Mar 14, 2013

Filed:

Sep 12, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/229979

Inventors:

Christopher S. Dickson - Greensboro NC, US

International Classification:

A47C 7/50, A61G 15/12

US Classification:

2974231, 128845

Abstract:

A therapeutic leg elevation device and an associated treatment method are disclosed. The device includes a first inclined surface for supporting a patient's thigh and that tilts the thigh at an angle above horizontal that is also less than an angle that can kink the femoral vein. A second inclined surface supports the patient's lower leg and also tilts the lower leg above the horizontal at an angle sufficient to permit gravity to augment blood flow. The first and second surfaces define an angle that positions the knee and lower leg at an angle that relaxes the hamstring and gastrocnemius muscle for comfort and prevents the popliteal vein from being compressed by the tibia. The second inclined surface has a limited length that permits a patient's feet to extend over the end of the second surface to prevent pressure on the heel. The device includes an inflatable interior component and a cushion layer covering the inflatable interior component.
