  9. Properties of Intermittent Compression Systems • Garment • Essential functions that the compression garment must provide include: covering a limb, remaining in place, and applying pressure. • All cuffs of today include an air bladder. • Need to be made of certain material that is designed for the specific use of the patient. • Deep Vein Thrombosis cuffs are designed for single use patients • Non-durable fabrics • Long term cuffs designed to be more durable and comfortable.
