SEQUENTIAL INTERMITTENT COMPRESSION DEVICE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE 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 a patient's limb, with the sleeve having a plural- ity of separate fluid pressure chambers progressively ar- ranged longitudinally along the sleeve from a lower portion of the limb to an upper portion of the limb proximal the pa- tient's heart relative the lower portion. The device has means for intermittently forming a plurality of fluid press- ure pulses from the source in a timed sequence during period- ic compression cycles. The device also has means for connect- ing the different pressure pulses of the sequence to separate chambers in the sleeve in an arrangement with later pulses in the sequence being connected to more upwardly located chambers in the sleeve to apply a compressive pressure gradient against the patient's limb by the sleeve which decreases from the low- er to upper limb portions. The device also has means for in- termittently connecting the chambers to an exhaust means dur- ing periodic decompression cycles between the compression cy- cles.
