Single-chamber venous compression garments are wearable, inflatable stockings or sleeves designed to be wrapped around limbs. They work by intermittently inflating to apply controlled pressure, improving blood circulation and reducing swelling, particularly in patients who are immobile or at risk of conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical devices, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards. They are commonly supplied as part of a compression therapy system for clinical or home use, with specific regulations varying by jurisdiction.
