Abstract

The present invention discloses a cuff which includes a wrap band. A surface of the wrap band is provided respectively with a first Velcro strip and a second Velcro strip made of a different material than the first Velcro strip that the first Velcro strip and the second Velcro strip can be fastened and fixed together. An interior of the wrap band is provided with a bladder which is connected with more than one joint pipe. The joint pipes are connected with a pressure regulation device by which a pressure of the bladder is increased and decreased repeatedly to result in a volume change that wounded tissues and surrounding unwounded tissues are depressurized and pressurized, thereby achieving an effect of reducing a risk of necrosis to the wounded tissues and the surrounding unwounded tissues.

Claims

1. A cuff comprising a wrap band, a surface of which is provided respectively with a first Velcro strip and a second Velcro strip made of a different material than the first Velcro strip that the first Velcro strip and the second Velcro strip are fastened and fixed together, an interior of the wrap band being provided with a bladder which is connected with more than one joint pipe which is connected with a pressure regulation device.

2. The cuff according to claim 1, wherein the pressure regulation device is a manual pressure regulation device which is constituted by an air charging ball and an air discharging device, with the air charging ball providing a user to squeeze repeatedly that air is squeezed into the bladder, the air discharging device being connected with a joint pipe at a front end of the air charging ball and being provided with a depressurization assembly which operates and adjusts a pressure setting and discharges air automatically when air is charged to exceed the pressure setting.

3. The cuff according to claim 2, wherein the manual pressure regulation device and the joint pipes of the wrap band are connected with a pressure gauge.

4. The cuff according to claim 1, wherein the pressure regulation device is an automatic pressure regulation device which is constituted by an electric air charging motor used to charge air automatically and an electric air discharging device providing the air discharging function.

5. The cuff according to claim 4, wherein the automatic pressure regulation device is provided with a timing control device which is used to control an operation time of the automatic pressure regulation device and a pressure control device which is used to configure an air charging pressure.

6. The cuff according to claim 1, wherein an end of the wrap band is provided with a clip ring which is transfixed by the other end of the wrap band.

7. The cuff according to claim 1, wherein the bladder is a transversal arrangement of plural air sacks which are in a shape of long strips.

8. The cuff according to claim 1, wherein the bladder is a longitudinal arrangement of plural air sacks which are in a shape of long strips.

9. The cuff according to claim 1, wherein the bladder is an oblique arrangement of plural air sacks which are in a shape of long strips and separated in intervals alternately.

10. The cuff according to claim 1, wherein the bladder is a transversal arrangement of two air sacks which are in a shape of long strips and are provided with plural longitudinally arranged air sacks.
