Abstract: Radial compression may utilize a shape memory alloy. The shape-memory alloy may comprise nickel titanium. A compressive force may be applied to a body part of an animal. For example, the device may be utilized to provide a compressive force to a limb of a human. The device may be utilized to provide compressive therapy to treat patients that suffer from, for example, chronic venous insufficiency or neuromuscular disorders, for recreational massage, or the like. Wires comprising a shape-memory alloy may be wound around an object. The wires may be individually, electrically controlled to provided radial compression. Radial compression utilizing a shape memory alloy concurrently may provide compressive force and thermal energy to an object.
