Compression garment (1) for a limb of a person, comprising a flexible body portion (2) having a first, limbward side (3) and a second side (4) opposing the first side (3), and at least one band (6) extending from a lateral side (30) of the body portion (2) for wrapping around the limb, wherein the band (6) comprises a fastener (13) such that the end of the band (6) is removably attachable onto the compression garment (1) when wrapped around the limb, whereby the body portion (2) further comprises at least one guiding element (10) providing a channel (9) for receiving the band (6) and guiding the band (6) back over itself when the band (6) spans over the first side (3) to provide an opening (8) for receiving the limb.

Embodiments of systems and methods for monitoring use of an orthopedic device are at least disclosed. In some embodiments, the system can include an orthopedic device, a housing, and a controller. The orthopedic device can provide support to a limb of an individual. The orthopedic device can include a magnet configured to generate a magnetic field. The housing can attach to the individual, and the housing can support a magnetometer configured to generate a signal responsive to the magnetic field. The controller can determine from the signal whether the individual is using the orthopedic device to provide support to the limb and accordingly output usage indications.

The present invention relates to garments and kits, including uses thereof, for providing therapeutic compression such as compression therapy for the treatment of circulatory disorders such as Lymphedema and Venous Disease.

The present disclosure provides apparatuses and methods for measuring capacitance as an indication of susceptibility to the formation of a diabetic foot ulcer.

A wound recovery garment includes a multilayer fabric. The multilayer fabric comprises a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The multilayer fabric draws moisture from the skin tissues, including wounded or burned tissue recovering from trauma. The first layer removes moisture from wounded tissue without sticking to skin. The first layer is formed from compressive, elastic material that supplies compression forces to tissue. The second layer is an absorbent layer that receives the moisture from the first layer and stores tissue moisture in a sponge-like fashion. The second layer is disposed between the first layer and the third layer. The third layer is an exterior layer and is visible to outside viewers. No body fluid or blood leaks through the third layer. Individuals recovering from trauma are able to comfortably go outside without being concerned with body fluids soaking through and being visible to others.

The present disclosure provides apparatuses and methods for measuring capacitance as an indication of susceptibility to the formation of a diabetic foot ulcer.

A therapeutic cushioning boot includes a foot portion configured to receive a foot of a user, and a leg portion configured to receive a leg of the user. The leg portion includes at least a first support chamber and a second support chamber. A first fiberfill material is provided in the first support chamber at a first concentration, and a second fiberfill material provided in the second support chamber at a second concentration that is less than the first concentration.

A wearable rehabilitation and relaxation sleeve aid is described that provides support and therapeutic benefits to an injured area. The wearable sleeve aid includes a first inner protective layer and an outer protective layer that form a pocket area between them. A removable pack may be inserted in the pocket area. The removable pack may be cooled or heated to bring the removable pack to the desired temperature. The wearable sleeve aid further provides compression to the targeted recovery area of a user's body to reduce swelling and pain.

A knit sock is integrally formed of a body yarn in circumferential courses and axial wales, and includes a foot portion having a heel and a toe, and an ankle portion joined to the foot portion and defining an open leg end of the sock. A first targeted compression zone is formed with the foot portion between the heel and the toe, and includes spaced-apart axial compression ridges extending axially outward from the heel at a first end of the first compression zone to a second end of the first compression zone. A second targeted compression zone is formed with the ankle portion between the heel and the open leg end of the sock, and includes spaced-apart axial compression ridges extending axially outward from the heel at a first end of the second compression zone to a second end of the second compression zone.

A therapeutic cushioning boot including a body at least partially fiber filled, the body including a first sidewall panel, a second sidewall panel, and a rear panel; the boot also including at least one boundary portion disposed between the panels, and a fiber filled foot gate attached to the body portion between the panels.
