Abstract
In one aspect, the present invention relates to a therapy system. The therapy system includes a control unit and a therapy cuff. The therapy cuff is constructed to be wrapped around an appendage of a patient. The therapy cuff includes a resistive-heating element electrically coupled to the control unit and a compression bladder fluidly coupled to the control unit via a tube. The compression bladder is disposed outwardly of the resistive-heating element. A first compression chamber and a second compression chamber are formed in the compression bladder. The resistive-heating element dilates a plurality of vessels within the appendage facilitating removal of accumulated fluid from the appendage.
