EXTREMITY COMPRESSION DEVICE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device for applying compressive pressures against a patient's limb from a source of pressur- ized fluid comprising, an elongated pressure sleeve for enclosing a length of the patient's limb. The sleeve has a plurality of separate fluid pressure chambers progressively arranged longitudinally along the sleeve from a lower portion of the limb to an up- per portion of the limb proximal the patient's heart relative the lower portion. The device has means for filling the chambers from the source during periodic compression cycles while applying a greater pressure in each lower chamber than the pressure in any upper chamber to apply a compressive pressure gradient against the patient's limb by the sleeve which pro- gressively decreases from the lower to upper limb por- tions. The device also has means for emptying the chambers during periodic decompression cycles between the compression cycles.
