A compression device for applying compression to a body part of a wearer has an inflatable bladder defined by first and second bladder layers and a bladder sealing line securing the first and second bladder layers to one another. A conduit is defined by spaced apart, generally opposing conduit sealing lines securing the first and second bladder layers to one another and portions of the first and second bladder layers between the conduit lines. The conduit is fluidly connected to the inflatable bladder for delivering pressurized air to the inflatable bladder. Tubing is not needed for connection to the compression device.

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. 2. The compression device of claim 1, wherein the conduit terminal comprises snap connector components and each snap connector component defines at least a portion of a respective passage. 3. The compression device of claim 1, wherein each passage prevents movement of the air compressor in a direction parallel to the first and second bladder layers when each passage is releasably connected to the air compressor. 4. The compression device of claim 1, wherein the first and second bladder layers and the bladder sealing line define a plurality of inflatable bladders and each inflatable bladder is in fluid communication with a respective one of the passages. 5. The compression device of claim 1, wherein the unitary conduit terminal is lateral to the inflatable bladder when the compression device is disposed about the body part of the wearer. 6. The compression device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second bladder layers is sealingly joined directly to the conduit terminal at a respective one of the passages. 7. The compression device of claim 1, wherein the passages are asymmetrically disposed within the unitary conduit terminal in a direction parallel to the first and second bladder layers. 8. 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 and 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 passage, wherein the unitary conduit terminal is mountable to a portable air compressor at a direct mechanical coupling along a second surface of the unitary conduit terminal defining a portion of a fluid communication path between the portable air compressor and the conduits;wherein each passage has a non-uniform diameter along an 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. 9. The compression device of claim 8, wherein the direct mechanical coupling is a plurality of receptacles defined in the unitary conduit terminal, each receptacle in fluid communication with a respective one of the conduits. 10. The compression device of claim 8, wherein the direct mechanical coupling defines a portion of the fluid communication path along an axis generally orthogonal to the first and second bladder layers. 11. The compression device of claim 8, wherein the direct mechanical coupling comprises snap connector components, each snap connector component defining at least a portion of the fluid communication path. 12. A compression device for applying compression to a body part of a wearer, the compression device comprising: a first bladder layer integrally formed as a one-piece sheet of air impermeable material;a second bladder layer integrally formed as a one-piece sheet of air impermeable material, the first and second bladder layers being disposed in opposing relationship to one another;an inflatable bladder defined by the first and second bladder layers and a bladder sealing line securing the first and second bladder layers to one another;a plurality of conduits, each conduit being defined by spaced apart, generally opposing conduit sealing lines securing the first and second bladder layers to one another and portions of the first and second bladder layers between the conduit sealing lines, at least one of the conduits being fluidly connected to the inflatable bladder for delivering pressurized air to the inflatable bladder;a unitary conduit terminal supported by the compression device along a first surface of the unitary conduit terminal and having passages therein, for each conduit at least one of the first and second bladder layers being sealingly joined to the conduit terminal at a respective one of the passages to form a fluid-tight connection between the conduit terminal and the conduit whereby the passage and conduit are in fluid communication, wherein the conduit terminal is adapted to simultaneously mount and fluidly connect a portable air compressor unit to the compression device to deliver pressurized air from the portable air compressor unit to the inflatable bladder, the conduit terminal mounting the portable air compressor unit along a second surface of the conduit terminal;wherein each passage has a non-uniform diameter along an 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 portable air compressor unit.
