A compression garment for a body includes a first material, an upper part having a first opening adapted to receive the body part, a central portion, and a lower part. The compression garment further includes a tensioning device adapted to adjust the level of compression of the garment on the body part.

This disclosure relates to compression garments, specifically to compression garments to promote lymphatic circulation. The garments can include flow directing units that have one or more angled teeth, struts, and/or lattices. A compressive force applied to the outer surface of the garment can be translated through the one or more angled teeth, struts, and/or lattices to urge fluid within a user to flow in one or more directions.

Method for selecting an elastic venous restraint orthosis intended to be slipped onto a lower limb of a patient. Acquisition of a photograph representing the skin of the limb and a calibration map including one or more calibration zones. The calibration map is placed on the limb in a position termed the “acquisition position.” Calibration of the photograph by the calibration zone or zones, in such a way that the representation of the skin on the photograph exhibits a calibrated colour. Selection, as a function of the calibrated colour, by computer and from a set of colours of a tone chart, of a tone chart colour, preferably of the tone chart colour closest to the calibrated colour, termed the “optimal colour,” and then determination, by computer, of an orthosis colour as a function of the tone chart colour selected. Selection of an orthosis exhibiting the orthosis colour.

A therapeutic compression garment, including: a body portion; and a spine portion, wherein the bands extending from either the body portion and/or spine portion attach the body and spine portions together when the body and spine portions are wrapped around a body limb, and wherein the spine portion is releasably attached onto the body portion such that the spine portion is positionable at different locations on the body portion.

The invention concerns a compression garment for providing compression to a body part, in particular a limb, of a patient, comprising an, in particular tubular, padded sleeve extending around the body part and having an inner layer and an outer layer secured, in particular sewn, together to define at least one enclosure between them, and multiple particles, in particular plastic foam particles, received in the enclosure for being pressed against the body part.

A therapeutic compression system for providing gradient compression to a limb or other body part, including at least one therapeutic compression apparatus having at least one elastic sock or sleeve integral and connected to at least one wrap having at least one bladder and a universal inflation port to connect to an inflation means to the at least one bladder. The connecting means connects the at least one elastic sock or sleeve in one embodiment by buttons inserted and connected into apertures on the at least one wrap. The inflation port has an open and closed mechanism so that when closed it maintains the level of inflation in the at least one bladder. The inflation means provides either constant or varying pressure within the bladder and a check valve is included in the inflation port and/or inflation means. The inflation means may be connected to a stabilization means configured to be attached to a body part of the user or a belt or bag or other means around for example, the shoulder, leg, waist or arm of the body. The inventive therapeutic compression apparatus and system is stabilized and secured on the user when the user moves the target body part.
