Abstract

The present invention generally relates to a device for applying a pulsating pressure to a local region of the body and applications thereof. The device may be used to increase the blood flow in a local region of the body, and in preferred embodiments provides a device for regulating the core body temperature of a patient. The disclosed device comprises a pressure chamber (4) and an element to generate pulses of pressure withing the chamber. The pressure in the chamber can be negative, i.e. less than atmospheric, or positive. The limb to be treated is either immersed in liquid, contained in the pressure chamber, or separated from it by a liquid barrier layer in which case the device further comprises means for creating negative pressure between the barrier layer and the skin in order to maintain them in mutual contact.
