ABSTRACT:
An anatomical compression device including a flexible, expandible envelope which contains a pair of chemical agents which form a gas when mixed. In use, the envelope encircles a body part, such as an injured limb, and the chemical agents are mixed by manual manipulation of the envelope, creating a gas which expands the envelope and exerts a compressive force on the limb. The compression device can serve as a splint for broken bones, as a pressure dressing for the control of bleeding, or as a treatment device for minimizing the effect of snake venom or a snake bite victim.
