ABSTRACT:
A device for applying compressive pressures against a patient's limb comprising a stocking having circumferentially elastic boot portion which applies a compressive pressure against the limb which decreases from the ankle to a top of the stocking, an elongated pressure sleeve for enclosing a length of the patient's limb over the stocking, said sleeve having a plurality of separate fluid pressure chambers progressively arranged longitudinally along the sleeve from a lower portion of the limb to an upper portion of the limb proximal the patient's heart relative to said lower portion, a device for intermittently forming a plurality of fluid pressure pulses and a device for connecting the pressure pulses to chambers in the sleeve to apply a compressive pressure against the patient's limb by the sleeve which decreases from the lower to upper portions.
