ABSTRACT:
A bladder-less counterpressure garment primarily used in the treatment of a victim suffering from hypovolemic shock. The garment is made of a compressible material, like foam, with a device for compressing the material. The garment is adapted to be positioned about the legs and abdomen of the victim by an adjustable fastener. The adjustable fastener or a separate pressure engagement device is engaged, compressing the foam and supplying the requisite counterpressure to increase blood circulation to the vital organs.
