Abstract:
1. A pressure therapy system comprising: an air pump; a pneumatic line pressurized by the air pump; and a cuff in fluid communication with the pneumatic line, the cuff including flaps sized and shaped to extend around a user's limb, a first chamber and a second chamber separated fluidly by the cuff from the first chamber, wherein the pneumatic line splits into first and second line segments or openings, the first line segment communicating fluidly with the first separated chamber, the second line segment communicating fluidly with the second separated chamber, and wherein a pathway of the cuff leading to the second separated chamber includes a tortuous air flow restriction structured and arranged to cause pressurized air to travel in a serpentine manner such that that the pressurized air is redirected at least twice in the pathway, thereby delaying the pressurized air from reaching the second chamber relative to the first chamber.
