Abstract: A separable compression sleeve where the fluid inflating portion commonly referred to as bladder, tubing and connector (26) can be separated from the garment or sleeve portion (30) that wraps around the limb or desired substrate to be compressed. The bladder, tubing and connector (26) can be mechanically barrier protected so it can be reused without chemical reprocessing by using a protective flexible covering (32) (barrier), a unique outer or connector coupler shell 10, a membrane barrier (valve) (18), a reusable coupler (12), disposable coupler connector (24) and an easy open heat shrink connection (20) that allows for quick dissassembly of the barrier so the bladder tubing and connector (26) can be reused.

Abstract: A universal bucks traction boot for orthopedic traction on the leg having an asymmetrical shape which when connected together forms a heel pocket and has attached to it a stirrup of webbing that is reinforced with plastic stays and has a friction free movable circular ring around the webbing for attachment. The convoluted foam inside surface has a hook compatible surface on the outside of the material for the attachment of the wide straps. In addition, a large dorsal area that is cut out allows access to the foot for patient assessment or for the application of an external/intermittent pneumatic compression device that is often needed to be used with the patient who needs orthopedic traction. The foam will be of soft durometer but of sufficient density so that when attempts are made to over tighten the straps the hook and loop interface will release and not allow over tightening.
