The device comprises a treatment cylinder (1) into which one extremity (E) is placed for treatment of a peripheral circulatory disorder and subjected to hyperbaric and hypobaric phases. Said treatment cylinder has one end (B) that is hermetically closed, and on the other end (A) supports a sleeve (C) that consists of a thick-walled rubber disk (4) which on its flat sides is covered by thin-walled, highly elastic rubber membranes (6, 7). The rubber disk and the rubber membranes are provided with openings (5, 8, 9), while the diameters of the openings (8, 9) of the rubber membranes (6, 7) are smaller than the diameter of the opening (5) of the rubber disk (4) so that during pressure changes in the treatment cylinder (1) the rubber membranes (6, 7) adapt so to the form of the extremity (E) to be treated that they create a sleeve effect and close off the treatment cylinder (1) at the end (A) in such a way that the intensity of the pressure variation can be achieved and kept constant during a specific time period without having to inflate the sleeve (C). This solution prevents for the entire duration of the treatment the venous return to the heart from becoming blocked. |
