Argenta awoke in the middle of the night with an idea: He envisioned placing a sterile foam dressing onto a wound, sealing the wound site with an adhesive drape, and then running a tube from the dressing to a controlled vacuum unit, to remove infectious and other unwanted materials, such as interstitial fluid, from the site. The weight of the baby and an increase in blood volume, interstitial fluid (edema or swelling) and intrauterine fluid combine to add significant pressure on the hip, knee and ankle joints of expecting women. These help in reducing and/or maintaining lymphoedema by decreasing the amount of interstitial fluid, preventing lymph back flow and enhancing the muscle pump action by providing an inelastic barrier for the muscle to work against. |
