    A novel double-walled rubber cylinder device offers intermittent positive pressure for finger edema management after surgery or trauma. This accessible innovation presents advantages over traditional hand splints for effective patient recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Post-surgical and post-traumatic finger edema management is crucial for functional recovery.
    • Current treatments, such as total hand splints, may have limitations in application or efficacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new double-walled rubber cylinder device for intermittent positive pressure therapy.
    • To highlight the advantages of this device for managing finger edema.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a double-walled rubber cylinder using inexpensive, readily available materials.
    • Application of the device for delivering intermittent positive pressure to individual fingers.

    Main Results:

    • The described device is constructed from low-cost, accessible materials.
