Abstract

A compression treatment system (10) is provided that includes a first bladder (46a, 46b, 46c, 48a, 48b, 48c) supported about a limb. A second bladder is supported about the limb. The bladders are in fluid communication with a fluid source (50) and the bladders are inflated such that the first bladder is inflated for a first time period and the second bladder is inflated for a second time period. The second time period is initiated within the first time period. A single pressure sensor communicates with the first bladder and the second bladder.
