C-Boot is designed in a user-friendly boot architecture that includes the following parts:
- A wearable Boot-like half-leg garment
- Inside
the boot are several inflatable overlapping segments that utilize
sequential, cyclical pressure to aid circulation in the lower limbs.
- A small pneumatic pump in the heel
- A
miniature pneumatic control system placed within the boot that provides
accurate and controllable pressure in each sleeve. The system’s
architecture enables free movement and does not limit the patient.
While
walking, a small pump in the heel of the sleeve is repeatedly engaged,
producing air flow into the boot’s control system. In between the
compression chambers are specially tuned pressure sensor valves. These
valves monitor compression levels and ensure that each segment fills
with the proper amount of air and applies the correct amount of
compression to the specific limb size and shape.
