Abstract
A compression device includes an inflatable member and a frame member extending along substantially an entirety of the perimeter edge margin of the inflatable member. The frame member imparts rigidity to the inflatable member so that rigidity of the inflatable member at the perimeter edge margin is greater than the rigidity of the inflatable member inside the perimeter edge margin.
