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.
