摘要：
A compressive brace for intraarticular needle procedures that provides constant radial compression. One embodiment comprises a non-pneumatic releasable compressive planar device or tubular sleeve, a method to apply tension to the device or sleeve comprising a non-stretchable material or stretchable elastomeric material with fasteners or external compression straps or both resulting in fluid displacement and increased intraarticular fluid pressure, a design that displaces fluid within the joint to low pressure areas to be readily accessible by needle or catheter via specific anatomic portals so that the joint can be completely aspirated, tension and pressure can be released so that fluid can be easily removed or injected into the joint, and integration of the device into arthrocentesis, surgical, diagnostic, and joint therapy kits. Some embodiments define a window or aperture to allow pooling of fluid and to introduce needles and catheters. Some embodiments dilate the patellofemoral joint and may displace the patella-making introduction of the needle more successful.
