Abstract

Therapeutic devices (30, 40, 50, 60) that provide support or pressure to tissue. Devices (30, 40, 50, 60) contain a material that is capable of being contracted from its relaxed state to an evacuated state. The material applies pressure to the tissue of a patient when the material is in its relaxed state.
Reduction of pressure by application of a vacuum results in a contracted state of the device, so that the device can be applied or delivered to a patient.
Release of vacuum results in a return to the relaxed state, thus providing a maximum desirable pressure to tissue and avoiding the possibility of over-pressure which can result in tissue damage or necrosis.
