Artistic rendition of the prototype device. Figure 2 displays an artistic rendition of the prototype device identifying the areas of heating and compression within the lower leg sleeve. The heating elements are located at the popliteal fossa and sole of the foot strapped in close contact to the patient. Beneath the heating elements, in each location, are temperature feedback probes that feed back to the individual heating unit for that region. There is also a sequential pneumatic calf compression sleeve component fitted to the patient’s lower legs in between the two heating areas
