Compression garment comprising spacer fabric and hook fastener
A compression garment includes a spacer fabric part (1) with an inner layer (2) and an outer layer. The compression garment further includes a closing part (4) with at least one macroscopic hook (5). If a user dons the compression garment, the spacer fabric part (1) and/or the closing part (4) has to be stretched to generate the compression force and the stretching is maintained by attaching the closing part (4) to the spacer fabric part (1) by hooking the at least one macroscopic hook (5) into the mesh of the outer layer of the spacer fabric part (1).
A PAIR OF SUPPORTIVE SOCKS FOR DISORDERS CAUSED BY FOOT DEFORMITIES
A supporting pair of socks for disorders caused by foot deformities is provided that can be worn on daily basis and it allows comforting of foot in case of flatfoot and hallux valgus disorder.
ADVANCED DIGIT DRESSING
A dressing for treating a wound on a digit includes a digit contact layer configured to substantially prevent adherence of the dressing to the wound and an antimicrobial layer coupled to a wound-facing side of the digit contact layer. The antimicrobial layer includes an antimicrobial substance. A first roll is coupled to a non-wound-facing side of the digit contact layer and unrollable to cover the digit, the digit contact layer, and the antimicrobial layer and a second roll is coupled to the first roll and unrollable to cover the first roll, the digit, the digit contact layer, and the antimicrobial layer.
Reduction kits
Customizable garments and kits, including uses thereof, having adaptations for ease of positioning for providing therapeutic compression such as compression therapy for the treatment of circulatory disorders such as Lymphedema and Venous Disease.
MOISTURIZING FACILITATING FOOT COVERING ASSEMBLY
A moisturizing facilitating foot covering assembly includes a sleeve of cloth material to be positioned on and cover a person's foot. The sleeve includes a bottom wall and a perimeter wall that is attached to and extends upwardly from the bottom wall. The perimeter wall includes a heel end, a toe end, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. A top wall is attached to the perimeter wall. The top wall has a foot opening therein positioned adjacent to the heel end. The cloth material is air and fluid permeable. A coating is positioned on an interior surface of the sleeve. The coating is flexible as well as air and fluid impermeable. The top wall is free of the coating. The coating prevents the sleeve from absorbing any moisturization composition positioned on a lower surface of the person's foot.
