ABSTRACT:
A protective compression sleeve for applying compressive pressures against a patient's limb from a source of pressurized fluid. The sleeve has first and second surfaces, a pair of end edges, a pair of side edges connecting the end edges, and at least one fluid pressure chamber. The sleeve has a fastening device having a first fastening strip on one of the surfaces extending substantially the length of the sleeve adjacent one of the side edges, and a plurality of second fastening strips on the other of the surfaces and extending laterally along the sleeve toward the other side edge, with the second strips being located at spaced intervals substantially the length of the sleeve. The first and second fastening strips releasably engage to secure the sleeve about the patient's limb and release at a predetermined pressure in the chamber to prevent application of excessive pressures against the patient's limb.
