Described are improved apparatus and devices for intermittently and sequentially compressing a body site and methods for using said apparatus and devices, especially for site specific treatment to achieve a desired temperature of the underlying tissue. The apparatus comprises a segment having a body with a distal end and a proximal end, an interior space within the body, an inlet located at the distal end for access into the interior space, and one or more extending regions for securing said body at the site, the segment further comprising a shape when formed that is ergonomic for the site; an inflatable bladder positioned within the interior space of the body, having a fluid port at a distal end; and a leakproof element containing at least a temperature sensitive material, the leakproof element having coupling elements for detaching and attaching to a portion of the body of the segment. |
