ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a compression device for selectively applying compressive force to a localized area of interest on the surface of a body that is readily positioned and fastened in place. The device includes a resilient compressible element positioned on a relatively rigid member associated with a clamping frame that at least partially surrounds a limb or other body area of interest. An adjustable closure means is provided for adjustably completing the clamp arrangement to completely enclose said bodily region of interest in a manner that enables the compressible element to be applied to the precise site of interest. The adjustable closure element permits accommodating bodily parts such as limbs of various size and facilitates adjustment of the compressive pressure applied. The device may take a variety of embodiment forms.
