Abstract

A device for applying compressive presures against a patient's limb having a sleeve for applying pressure against a length of a patient's limb, with the sleeve having a plurality of chambers arranged longitudinally along the sleeve. The device intermittently inflates the chambers, and intermittently connects the chambers to an exhaust system during which a residual pressure is established in the chambers.
