ABSTRACT:
Method for enhancing blood circulation in a predetermined portion of a patient's body remote from the patient's heart. In a preferred embodiment the method comprises: placing an isolated portion of the patient's body within a chamber comprised of substantially gas impervious material; forming a substantially airtight seal between the chamber and the isolated portion of the patient's body; constricting venous blood flow from the isolated portion of the patient's body; evacuating sufficient air from within the chamber to create a partial vacuum within the chamber; maintaining the partial vacuum within the chamber for a period of time sufficient for the patient's arterial pressure to engorge the blood vessels contained within the isolated portion of the patient's body with blood and to distend the blood vessels; releasing the constriction on venous blood flow; and allowing sufficient air to enter the chamber to at least partially dissipate the vacuum existing within said chamber, thereby allowing the engorged, distended blood vessels within the isolated portion of the patient's body to return from their distended condition to a non-distended condition and forcing blood contained within the blood vessels from the isolated portion of the patient's body. Upon completion of the engorgement cycle, restoration of unrestricted venous blood flow is preferably followed by the application of pressure to the limb to avoid stagnation of blood in the limb being treated, after which the engorgement cycle is automatically repeated.
