Abstract

The present invention provides an improved bilateral compression device for post-operative surgical site, the bilateral compression device including a central cavity presented by an outerwall and a circumscribing sidewall, the central cavity in receipt of a post-operative pillow further comprising an outer membrane separated from an inner membrane for exerting a central compressive force towards the post-operative surgical area which varies from a surrounding compression force.

Claims (10)

1 . A post-operative bilateral compression device comprising:

a central cavity presented by an outerwall and a circumscribing sidewall, said circumscribing sidewall presenting a contoured surface;

a band secured to said circumscribing sidewall for securing said post-operative bilateral compression device during use; and

a post-operative pillow received by said central cavity and further comprising an outer membrane separated by an inner membrane and adapted for exerting a central compressive force and a surrounding compressive force towards a post-operative surgical site.

2 . The post-operative bilateral compression device of claim 1 wherein said inner membrane is removable.

3 . The post-operative bilateral compression device of claim 1 wherein said inner membrane presents a smooth, non-stick surface.

4 . The post-operative bilateral compression device of claim 1 wherein said circumscribing sidewall presents a sealing surface which extends along the post-operative surgical site.

5 . The post-operative bilateral compression device of claim 1 further comprising a compression membrane positioned between said inner and outer membrane, said inner membrane in communication with a pair of spacers located between said compression membrane and said outer membrane.

6 . The post-operative bilateral compression device of claim 5 wherein said spacers are centrally aligned within said central cavity with a pair of recesses in said compression membrane.

7 . The post-operative bilateral compression device of claim 1 wherein said outer membrane limits visibility through said post-operative bilateral compression device.
