[Continued on next page] (54) Title: APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROMOTING WOUND HEALING o m i> FIG. 1 o CJ (57) : The system of the present invention uses inputs from EKG and PPG signals of blood flow at the end of the limb. To maximizes the PPG signal the system opens a series of valves in sequence, to inflate corresponding sequentially located cells wrapped circumferentially around the limb so that the most proximal cell inflates first, and its neighbor is inflated next. Fluid under pressure is supplied to the valves so that when opened, fluid enters the air cells and inflates them, compressing the underlying limb sequentially, from proximal to distal, to push blood downstream. Negative pressure wound treatment is used in combination with compression or separately therefrom. wo 2017/117305 AI III llll IIII III Hill III III III III lllll 111 lllll 111 Hill 111 lllllll llll 111 llll Declarations under Rule 4.17: — as to applicant's entitlement to apply for and be granted a patent (Rule 4.17(H)) — as to the applicant's entitlement to claim the priority of the earlier application (Rule 4.17(iii)) — of inventorship (Rule 4.17 (iv)) Published: — with international search report (Art. 21(3))
