ABSTRACT:
A medical device having an expandable fluid-tight bladder formed integral within a wrap (or sheath) that can be securely fastened onto a human foot. The foot wrap positions and holds the bladder under the arch of the foot so as to compress the sole area when the bladder is inflated. The foot wrap is soft, lightweight, flexible and suitable for extended wear with minimum discomfort. It can be readily used with a pneumatic or hydraulic pressure applicator or cyclic pump to promote blood circulation in the legs of bedridden patients.
