ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic device for maintaining a substantially uniform partial vacuum about a lower extremity of a wearer suffering from poor circulation in the feet includes a lower member (A) defining a boot for containing the foot of the wearer and being attached to an upper member (B). The boot is sealed at the top for maintaining the partial vacuum in the space between the boot and the wearer by a suitable sealing member (C) while a connection (D) is provided for receiving a vacuum pump for producing a partial vacuum within the boot preferably of about 1-2 psi below atmospheric pressure. A mold for custom making boots includes a mold core (E) constructed essentially of plaster about which plastic is injection molded followed by breaking away of the plaster.
