Description

Cross-referencing of related applications: This patent application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. Patent Application No. 17/239,637, filed on 25 April 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. For the purposes of the Paris Convention, this patent application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 17/239,637, filed on 25 April 2021, and to UK Patent Application No. 2112465.6, filed on 1 September 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. This invention relates to a product including an apparatus for use in gas therapy and pressure therapy applied to the limbs and torso of a person, as well as a method for using such a product and a method for using such a product in gas therapy and pressure therapy. Pressure regulating devices are used in various treatments. In many cases, treatment involves creating a makeshift pressure-retaining space above and around a wound or incision on the limb or torso. In some cases, a "gas bridge" is also made upfront between a connecting component placed in the makeshift space and the wound itself. This is created, for example, by cutting a piece of open-cell foam to create a gas pathway within its space. Thus, the methods disclosed to date are inaccurate, makeshift, and difficult to maintain sterility. Furthermore, the makeshift pressure-retaining spaces are not suitable for combination with other gas therapies or other pressure therapies. Therefore, there is a need for a ready-to-use device that can be used in various treatments involving pressure regulating devices and/or various gases.
