Abstract

An elastic brace including an insert bladder for effecting lymphatic drainage of a portion of the body of a living being. The bladder is a hollow member made up of a pair of flexible sheets secured to each other along plural seal lines to form a plurality of inflatable chamber sections. The chambers are arranged to be filled with a fluid, e.g., a hot or cold liquid, a gas, etc., to inflate them to produce discrete areas of varied high and low pressure points on the skin and underlying tissue of the being when the brace is in place. The brace may be configured to fit any portion of the anatomy of the being.
