Preliminary Investigation of a Smart Compression Therapy Prototype

A device designed to deliver compression therapy at a pre-set level to the lower leg for legs with a circumference between 30-50 cm. The device provides compression through a series of three air bladders and is controlled by a battery-powered electronic module that controls compression levels by monitoring bladder pressure.

Coban 2 represents the standard of care 2-layer compression wrap used to treat venous leg ulcers. The device consists of a comfort layer and a compression layer. A clinician applies the device to establish compression therapy.
