Abstract: A compression therapy device may include a wearable article having independently inflatable and deflatable sealed cells. The location of the sealed cells in the article may be tailored to the anatomy of the device user. A method of providing the therapy device may include measuring one or more anatomical areas on the patient where compression is desired, providing the measurement to a device provider, and receiving an article having multiple sealed cells localized at the one or more anatomical areas. A method of manufacturing the therapy device may include receiving a measurement of an anatomical feature of a patient and determining a configuration of seals to be incorporated in a template article. The configuration may result in the sealed cells providing a pressure on the patient's anatomical feature.

Abstract: A compression therapy device may include a compression therapy appliance comprising a number of independently inflatable cells and a controller to control a flow of a pressurizing fluid into and out of each cell via a number of valves. The controller may direct the valves to inflate or deflate each cell in a sequence according to one or more compression therapy protocols. The compression therapy appliance may be placed on a portion of a patient's body to provide compression therapy according to one or more of the compression therapy protocols. The portion of the patient's body in contact with the compression therapy appliance may include a proximal end and a distal end. A compression therapy protocol may include alternating inflation and deflation steps of one or more cells placed in contact with the proximal end of the patient's body, thereby improving fluid flow into the proximal end of the patient.
