    Abstract: Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices facilitate fluid circulation in a body by providing alternating higher pressure and a lower or no pressure in an associated inflatable cuff. A source of air at a pressure less than 130% of the higher pressure at the inflatable cuff communicates to the inflatable cuff through a large-cross-section, continuously-open passageway. A large vent valve on that passageway opens for a lower or no pressure condition and closes to achieve a higher pressure within 0.1 second. For the lower or no pressure state, the vent valve not only vents the inflatable cuff, but also vents continuing air flow from the source of air pressure, until the next rapid pressure rise. The periods between successive compressions are from 2 to 10 seconds, with compressions from 0.35 to 5 seconds. While most of the inflatable cuff is not transparent, portions adjacent the heel and toes are.

    Abstract: An adjustable air bladder apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an outer enclosure, a first interior section within the outer enclosure that contains a plurality of air bladders, a second interior section within the outer enclosure that contains a support layer, and an air pump pneumatically coupled to the plurality of air bladders, where the air pump is configured to selectively supply pressurized air to the air bladders independently through a pneumatic coupling. The pneumatic coupling includes one or more supply valves, outlet valves, and pressure sensors coupled to each air bladder or to one or more groupings of air bladders. A control device is provided for monitoring the pressure within the air bladders and for controlling an amount of air provided to or released from the bladders or groupings of bladders. A method of providing rolling massage with the apparatus is also disclosed.
