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 sleeve has a laterally extending knee region intermediate longitudinally disposed chambers of the sleeve, with the knee region having an elongated laterally extending opening to enhance flexibility of the sleeve in the knee region. The device has a control assembly for intermittently inflating and deflating the pressure chambers.
