Human Research Program Flight Thigh Cuff

The VTC is an adjustable fabric cuff that is worn on the upper thighs to retain some fluid in the legs. It consists of wide straps and a buckle which allow it to be tightened, then velcro to secure the strap in the tightened position. There is also lacing that can be tightened for micro adjustments. Imbedded within the fabric strap is a bladder that is not used for increasing tightness but allows the pressure of the cuff to be measured and tracked.
