An ulcer, lymphoedema and DVT treatment device (10) comprises a drive unit
(12) adapted to deliver mechanical vibrations at its surface in three
orthogonal directions at a frequency in each orthogonal direction of
between 15 and 75 Hz and with an amplitude in each orthogonal direction
of between 0.1 and 0.5 mm. A pad (110) is connected to the drive unit,
and a strap (46) enables the pad to be pressed against the limb of the
animal or human. The motor drives an eccentrically mounted weight (22) to
provide oscillations of the casing in a radial plane. The device is
employed to treat a patient suffering from leg ulcers, lymphoedema and
DVT by applying three-dimensional vibrations. A cover (150) is provided
to protect the pad (110) from contamination.
