ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for intermittently inflating and deflating a compression sleeve. The sleeve has a plurality of longitudinally disposed compression chambers which encircle a patient's limb when the sleeve is secured about the limb. The sleeve is inflated in a manner to apply a compressive pressure gradient against the patient's limb which decreases from a lower to upper portion of the patient's limb to enhance the velocity of blood flow through the limb.
