ABSTRACT:
A device for applying compressive pressures against a patient's limb from a source of pressurized fluid. The device has an elongated pressure sleeve for enclosing a length of the patient's limb, with the sleeve having a plurality of laterally extending 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 the lower portion. The device has a plurality of conduits and connecting devices for connecting the conduits to a plurality of the chambers. The device also varies the effective lumen size associated with a plurality of the connecting members and conduits to vary the pressure rise times in the chambers.
