1. A compression device for applying compression to a body part of a wearer, the compression device comprising:
a first bladder layer of air impermeable material; a second bladder layer of air impermeable material, the first and second bladder layers secured to one another along a bladder sealing line, and the first and second bladder layers disposed in opposing relationship to one another such that an inflatable bladder is defined by the first and second bladder layers and the bladder sealing line; a plurality of conduits, each conduit defined by spaced apart, generally opposing conduit sealing lines securing the first and second bladder layers to one another and portions of the first mand second bladder layers between the conduit sealing lines, at least one of the conduits in fluid communication with the inflatable bladder; a unitary conduit terminal supported by the compression device along a first surface of the unitary conduit terminal and defining passages in the unitary conduit terminal, each conduit in fluid communication with a respective one of the passages, wherein each passage is releasably connectable, along an axis generally orthogonal to the first and second bladder layers, into fluid communication with an air compressor along a second surface of the unitary conduit terminal; wherein each passage has a non-uniform diameter along the axis generally orthogonal to the first and second bladder layers, each passage including a narrow portion extending from the first surface of the unitary conduit terminal and a wider portion extending from the narrow portion to the second surface of the unitary conduit terminal opposite the first surface, and wherein the wider portion of each passage defines a bulbous shape tapering in width toward the second surface of the unitary conduit terminal and releasably connectable to the air compressor. |
