Abstract
A compression device for a limb has a sleeve adapted to surround the limb. The sleeve has an inelastic layer and a cell constructed from an inner part joined to an outer part by one or more side walls. This construction provides a cell with a box-like configuration so that the inner part conforms to the shape of the limb, providing an even pressure to the limb, when the cell is inflated.
