A roller device has a handle with two arms extending from one end of a
handgrip and a roller which is cylindrical having a surface composed of a
spongy material, and two ends having an opening through the center of
each end. The arms have ends which rotatably engage one opposing opening
of the roller. The roller may have an inner part and an outer part with a
spongy material on the surface of the outer part, or the entire outer
part may be a spongy material. A method of using the roller device
involves placing the roller on a leg above a top incision, rolling the
device down the leg while applying moderate pressure, forcing fluids down
and out a lower incision, wiping off the fluid, observing for additional
fluid build up, and repeating the procedure until no further build up is
observed.
