Abstract

A therapeutic device of the type which includes a fluid moving device for one of raising, compressing, or transferring fluid, a therapeutic member operably connected to the fluid moving device and actuated thereby, the therapeutic member operably disposable for use on a patient in a manner to deliver therapy to the patient as function of actuation of the fluid moving device, wherein the improvement includes a rechargeable power source operably connected to the fluid flowing device which includes a portable renewable energy producing device for powering the fluid moving device.

Claims

1. A disposable therapeutic device, which includes:

fluid moving means for one of raising, compressing, or transferring fluid;

a therapeutic member operably connected to said fluid moving means and actuated thereby, said therapeutic member operably disposably used on a patient in a manner to deliver therapy to the patient as function of actuation of said fluid moving means; and

means for powering said fluid moving means through a portable renewable energy producing device.

2. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, wherein said powering means includes one of a manually created pressure generating device and a manually created energy generating device.

3. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, which includes control means operably associated with said fluid moving means and said powering means for controlling operation thereof in a manner to restrict use of said fluid moving means by said patient in accordance with a predetermined treatment and render inoperable said pump.

4. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, wherein said powering means includes a chargeable power source to supply power to said fluid moving means.

5. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 4, wherein said chargeable power source is removable.

6. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 4, wherein said chargeable power source is a battery.

7. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 6, wherein said chargeable power source is removable.

8. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, wherein said therapeutic member includes a compressible dressing.

9. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, wherein said therapeutic member includes an inflatable cuff.

10. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, wherein said control means includes a timer for restricting said use as a function of a predetermined time.

11. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, which further includes an identification member such that said control means restricts use as a function of a said identification member.

12. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, wherein said control means includes means for remote control thereof for restricting said use.

13. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, which further includes a disposable container removably operably interconnected to said fluid moving means and to said therapeutic member to receive waste fluid therein as a result of actuation of said fluid moving means.

14. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, which further includes a housing operably containing said control means and said fluid moving means.

15. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 14, which further includes a chargeable power source operably connected to said housing to supply power to said fluid moving means.

16. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 15, wherein said chargeable power source is removably connected to said housing.

17. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 14, wherein said housing is further characterized to contain said control means and said fluid moving means in a waterproof manner.

18. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 1, which further includes a pressure sensor operably connected to said control means and said therapeutic member such that said control means controls said fluid moving means as a function of said sensed pressure.

19. The disposable therapeutic device of claim 14, wherein said housing includes a control display panel operably thereon and connected to said control means.

20. A therapeutic device of the type which includes fluid moving means for one of raising, compressing, or transferring fluid, a therapeutic member operably connected to said fluid moving means and actuated thereby, the therapeutic member operably disposable use on a patient in a manner to deliver therapy to the patient as function of actuation of said fluid moving means, wherein the improvement includes:

a chargeable power source operably connected to the fluid flowing means which includes means for powering said fluid moving means through a portable renewable energy producing device.

21. The therapeutic device of claim 20, wherein said portable renewable energy producing device includes one of a manually created pressure generating device and manually created energy generating device.

22. The therapeutic device of claim 20, which includes control means operably associated with said fluid moving means and said powering means for controlling operation thereof in a manner to restrict use of said fluid moving means by said patient in accordance with a predetermined treatment.

23. The therapeutic device of claim 20, wherein said chargeable power source is removable.

24. The therapeutic device of claim 20, wherein said therapeutic member includes a compressible dressing.

25. The therapeutic device of claim 20, wherein said therapeutic member includes an inflatable cuff.

26. The therapeutic device of claim 22, wherein said control means includes a timer for restricting said use as a function of a predetermined time.

27. The therapeutic device of claim 22, which further includes an identification member such that said control means restricts use as a function of a said identification member.

28. The therapeutic device of claim 22, wherein said control means includes means for remote control thereof for restricting said use.

29. The therapeutic device of claim 20, which further includes a disposable container removably operably interconnected to said fluid moving means and to said therapeutic member to receive waste fluid therein as a result of actuation of said fluid moving means.

30. The therapeutic device of claim 22, which further includes a housing operably containing said control means and said fluid moving means.

31. The therapeutic device of claim 30, wherein said chargeable power source is operably connected to said housing to supply power to said fluid moving means.

32. The therapeutic device of claim 31, wherein said chargeable power source is removably connected to said housing.

33. The therapeutic device of claim 30, wherein said housing is further characterized to contain said control means and said fluid moving means in a waterproof manner.

34. The therapeutic device of claim 22, which further includes a pressure sensor operably connected to said control means and said therapeutic member such that said control means controls said fluid moving means as a function of said sensed pressure.

36. The therapeutic device of claim 30, wherein said housing includes a control display panel operably thereon and connected to said control means.
