Abstract: A pressurizing compression device capable of providing pressure to a body extremity. The pressurizing compression device comprising a flexible wrap material and means for creating a pressure gradient. The flexible wrap material includes an upper end, a lower end and opposing side edges. The opposing side edges are positioned in proximity of each other so as to define a flexible wrap which is capable of surrounding a body extremity of a patient. The pressure gradient creating means creates a pressure gradient at least partially along the flexible wrap which decreases from the lower end to the upper end.
