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.

Disclosed is a compression and/or contention garment for lymphoedema treatment, the garment including a main body made of a compression textile. The garment has at least a first targeted area, in which the garment includes at least one layer of reinforcement textile, and at least a second targeted area, in which the garment includes at least one layer of contention textile.

A therapeutic pressure band for applying pressure across a muscle or muscle groups on a mammalian limb is described. The band is particularly well suited for treating “shin splints.” The band includes a plurality of straps that are connected together via a connecting material. Ends of each of the straps have adjustable fasteners for securing and tightening the band around a limb. The band also possesses a plurality of pressure members (e.g., elongated rubber tubes) that apply separate and discrete areas or points of pressure in a line across a muscle, tendon, bone, or muscle group and generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the limb.

Provided is a compression garment formed of a stretchable woven fabric with a uniform elasticity, such as denim. A circumferential portion of the garment surrounds a wearer's body part and is characterized by different degree of stretching but the same circumferential compressive forces when worn by a wearer, at various axial locations due to geometric cuts made to the fabric to form one or more fabric panels, each of which extend along the entire length of the circumferential portion. The compressive forces, degrees of stretching and circumferential lengths of fabric, are calculated using formulas and algorithms that take into account various factors relating to the fabric and the garment being formed.

A sensor apparatus includes a sensor device (2), for attaching to an outer surface of a compression garment (1), and a controller. The sensor device (2) comprises a first mounting point (70), attached to a first point on the garment (1), and a second mounting point (45), attached to a second point on the garment (1). The sensor device (2) senses displacement between the first (70) and second mounting points (45). The controller processes information representative of the sensed displacement to estimate a pressure exerted by the compression garment (1) on a wearer of the garment (1).

An orthotic device with an integrated compression knee sleeve that is less prone to slippage includes a waistband configured to encircle a wearer's waist; a seat portion and a front portion attached below the waistband to encircle the wearer's seat and crotch; a first leg portion attached below the seat portion and the front portion to partially cover a first leg of the wearer; and a second leg portion attached below the seat portion and the front portion to partially cover a second leg of the wearer. The second leg portion includes the integral compression knee sleeve, which encircles the wearer's knee to exert compressive forces on the knee.
