A compression device has improved cooling capability. The device includes a wicking layer adapted to move moisture. A portion of the wicking layer is exposed from under bladder material defining a bladder. In use, the wicking layer wicks moisture from the patient's limb and the wicked moisture is able to evaporate through the device at the portion of the wicking layer that is exposed.
1. A compression device for applying cyclical compression treatment around a part of a patient's body, the device comprising: a wicking layer having a first face and a second face, the first face is adapted to be applied to skin of the patient such that the second face faces away from the skin, the
1. A compression device for applying cyclical compression treatment around a part of a patient's body, the device comprising: a wicking layer having a first face and a second face, the first face is adapted to be applied to skin of the patient such that the second face faces away from the skin, the wicking layer is adapted to move moisture;at least one bladder having a portion defining a compression region, the at least one bladder being constructed of bladder material overlying the second face of the wicking layer, the at least one bladder being formed from opposing flat faces of at least one sheet of the bladder material; andat least one opening in the at least one sheet of bladder material of the bladder;the wicking layer being joined to the bladder material, wherein a portion of the wicking layer is exposed to atmosphere from under the bladder material, the wicking layer being positioned on the device and configured to move the moisture from the skin of the patient at locations under the bladder material and spaced away from said at least one bladder opening to a location under said at least one bladder opening to evaporate the moisture to the ambient environment through said at least one bladder opening. 2. A compression device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the wicking layer has an average wicking rate in terms of distance of at least about 0.01 in/s (0.0254 cm/s). 3. A compression device as set forth in claim 2 wherein the wicking layer has an average wicking rate in terms of distance of at least about 0.0375 in/s (0.09525 cm/s). 4. A compression device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the wicking layer has an average wicking rate in terms of weight of fluid wicked of at least about 0.002 g/s. 5. A compression device as set forth in claim 4 wherein the wicking layer has an average wicking rate in terms of weight of fluid wicked of at least about 0.0048 g/s. 6. A compression device as set forth in claim 2 wherein the rate of wicked moisture evaporating from the wicking layer through said at least one opening is between about 0.5 mg/minute and about 2.0 mg/minute. 7. A compression device as set forth in claim 6 further comprising a plurality of openings in the at least one sheet of bladder material, wherein the combined rate of wicked moisture evaporating through the openings combined is between about 20 mg/minute and about 50 mg/minute. 8. A compression device as set forth in claim 7 wherein each of the openings has a generally waterdrop shape including a wider end portion and a narrower end portion, the at least one bladder having first and second opposite longitudinal edges extending along its length, the openings being arranged so that a first set of the openings have wider end portions nearer the first longitudinal edge than the narrower end portions of the openings in the first set and a second set of openings have wider end portions nearer to the second longitudinal edge than the narrower end portions of the openings in the second set. 9. A compression device as set forth in claim 8 wherein the openings of the first set are longitudinally offset from the openings of the second set. 10. A compression device as set forth in claim 7 wherein each of the openings has an area of about 0.61 in2. 11. A compression device as set forth in claim 7 wherein the openings comprise between about 4% and about 15% of the total surface area of the at least one bladder. 12. A compression device as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a plurality of openings in the at least one sheet of bladder material, wherein the exposed portion of the wicking material is in at least partial registration with at least one of the openings. 13. A compression device as set forth in claim 12 wherein the openings are symmetrically distributed about the at least one bladder. 14. A compression device as set forth in claim 12 wherein a portion of the wicking layer is not in registration with the openings. 15. A compression device as set forth in claim 12 wherein a total open percentage of the exposed portion of the wicking layer is at least about 20% of the at least one bladder. 16. A compression device as set forth in claim 12 wherein the wicking layer is breathable to allow body heat and moisture to dissipate therethrough and out the openings in the at least one bladder. 17. A compression device as set forth in claim 16 wherein the wicking layer is constructed of a mesh material. 18. A compression device as set forth in claim 1 further comprising an outer cover disposed over the at least one bladder so that the at least one bladder is disposed between the outer cover and the wicking layer, the outer cover being breathable to allow heat and moisture moved to the exposed portion to evaporate and exit the device. 19. A compression device as set forth in claim 18 wherein the outer cover is constructed of a mesh material. 20. A compression device as set forth in claim 18 wherein the outer cover and the wicking layer are secured only to a periphery of the at least one bladder to allow the at least one bladder to move independently of the wicking layer and outer cover. 21. A compression device as set forth in claim 18 wherein the at least one bladder is constructed of an unlaminated, stretchable PVC material, and wherein the outer cover restricts the amount of expansion of the at least one bladder when the at least one bladder is being filled with fluid. 22. A compression device as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a flap disposed generally immediately laterally of the at least one bladder, the flap being divided to define at least two fingers, each finger including a fastening component. 23. A compression device as set forth in claim 1 wherein a portion of the bladder material not within a compression region of the at least one bladder has a peripheral opening therethrough, wherein the portion of the wicking layer is in registration with the peripheral opening. 24. A compression device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the wicking layer underlies the entirety of said at least one bladder opening.
