Compression sleeve for use with a gradient sequential compression system

A compression system for applying gradient sequential compression of a patient's limb and accelerating deep venous blood flow in the limb from a source of pressurized fluid, comprising:

• a means for supplying a source of pressurized fluid having a connector interface comprising at least one outlet port;
• a connector having a plurality of individual tubes for providing a continuous fluid passageway from said connector interface;
• and
• a compression sleeve for providing a source of pressurized fluid comprising:
• a pair of dimensionally stable unitary sheets scaled together along lines defining a plurality of chambers, wherein each of said unitary sheets includes a flexible sheet of thermoplastic fluid impervious material, wherein at least one of said unitary sheets has a fabric substantially laminated to the entire outside surface of the thermoplastic sheet, and wherein the lamination of the thermoplastic sheet and the fabric form a dimensionally stable unitary sheet that retains its shape during use;
• a fitting secured to each chamber and adapted for releasable attachment to an individual tube of said multiple-tube connector in fluid communication with said source of pressurized fluid;
• and
• a fastener strip connected to said unitary sheets and comprising a plurality of hook-like elements,
• wherein the laminated fabric is of a type to which the hook-like elements are capable of releasably fastening, so that the fastener strip and the fabric are cooperative for releasably securing said sleeve around the limb of a patient with said plurality of chambers encircling the limb.
