Abstract

An inflatable compression sleeve for applying graduated pressure to a limb, in order to reduce the likelihood of deep vein thrombosis, comprises: a wrap around gaiter 1 with inflatable means 4, and means 7 and 8 to secure the sleeve around a limb. The inflatable means may comprise a bladder with tapering airways (4, Fig 1) or different sized pads (4, Fig 5) or tubes whose spacing varies across the gaiter (4, Fig 6).
