Abstract

The medical appliance for applying pumping pressure to the sole (10) of a human foot (11) comprises an inflatable bag (1) which in use is held in engagement with the foot (11), a sling (4), a plaster cast or an article of footwear. It can be inflated rapidly by a pump (3). At least the part of the bag in contact with the foot can be of an air permeable material allowing controlled deflation of the bag.
