The device relates to a treatment cylinder (1) in which one extremity (E) that is to be treated for a peripheral circulatory disorder is placed and subjected to hyper and hypobar phases. Said treatment cylinder has one end (B) which is hermetically closed and supports a sleeve (C) on the other end (A). Said sleeve consists of a thick-walled rubber disk (4) with flat sides that are covered by thin-walled, highly elastic rubber membranes (6). The rubber disk and membranes are provided with openings (5, 8, 9), whereby the diameters of the openings (8,9) of the rubber membranes (6,7) are smaller than the diameters of the opening (5) of the rubber disk (4). When the pressure changes in the treatment cylinder (1), the rubber membranes (6,7) adapt to the form of the extremity to be treated (E) to create a sleeve effect and close the end of treatment cylinder (1) 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 the venous return to the heart from becoming blocked for the entire duration of treatment.
