A compression garment includes a main body including a central portion and a plurality of straps that extend from the central portion. The central portion has a lateral edge having first regions from which the straps extend from the central portion, and second regions from which the straps do not extend. A connecting portion is fixed to the main body and is fixed to at least a portion of the second regions. The straps are moveable to reverse the compression garment between a first state and a second state. The straps may be moveable around the connecting portion, or may be feedable through the connecting portion, to reverse the compression garment between the first state and the second state. The connecting portion and the main body may define a plurality of slits through which the straps are insertable to reverse the compression garment.

A compression garment having one or more flex frames that can be shortened or lengthened to apply or release a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of a user. The compression garment can have a wire made of shape memory material (shape memory alloy). A controller of the compression garment can supply an electrical input to the wire, generating heat that can cause the wire to contract such that the flex frame deflects to a shorter length to apply a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of the user. The one or more flex frames can be contracted in unison or in sequence to direct the flow of bodily fluids in the limb or other anatomical feature of the user.

A medical compression garment is provided including a midline opening cut in a medial segment of the elastic garment, dividing its front fabric portion into first and second sections. Fasteners, such as hook-and-loop fasteners, are attached to the first and second sections which connect together to close the opening. Pulls may be included. To don the garment, a wearer places their legs into the garment and pulls the garment along the legs until its top is aligned with the groin. The wearer then inverts and pulls the first and second sections of the garment together and fastens them to close the opening. Afterwards, the wearer pulls up the garment until it reaches the waist. When the wearer subsequently wants to take off the garment, the wearer unfastens the first and second sections and pull the garment down from the waist. The garment thus facilitates the donning and removal process.

A compression garment for a hand. The garment includes a body portion dimensioned to wrap at least partially around a hand of a user and includes a trimmable portion. An aperture of the body portion is disposed opposite the trimmable portion wherein the aperture is configured for receiving a thumb of the user. A plurality of bands are extended from an edge of the body portion in communication with the trimmable portion. Each band can be trimmable to a plurality of sizes (e.g. length, width, or the like) and can include a proximal end connected to the body portion and a distal free end having a fastener.

In an embodiment, a compression garment can include one or more of a flex frame, a shape memory material, a backing, and a control module. In some variations, the flex frame can include a set of support regions, a set of cutout regions, a set of bridges, one or more terminals, and one or more rotation points. In some variations, the compression garment 100 can further include a fabric sleeve, one or more fasteners, a power module, and/or any other suitable component. The compression garment functions as a compression device (e.g., to improve circulation, enhance muscle recovery, etc.), and can additionally or alternatively function as a passive compression device, a heating and/or cooling device, or perform any other suitable functionality.

A pressure sensing clip (1) and a system including a bandage (19) for detecting and displaying the pressure applied by a (compression) bandage (19) to a human or animal body in which the pressure sensing clip (1) has an inner bandage penetrating arm (2) and an outer arm (3) hingedly attached to the inner arm (2) at a hinge (4) so that the outer arm (3) is movable between a hingedly closed position with respect to the inner arm (2) and a hingedly open position. The device can be operatively attached to an applied compression bandage, or it can be placed beneath or between the bandage during bandage application so that the bandage covers the sensing part of the device. In the latter application, the ability of the arms of the device to adapt an open configuration allows the bandage to be applied over the inner arm leaving the outer arm to close once the bandage has been applied. The device can receive, store and transmit data to a user.

A compression garment, having: (a) a first portion that wraps at least partially around a body part to provide compression to the body part; and (b) a second portion that wraps at least partially around a body part; wherein the second portion is wrapped onto the first portion or is attached to the first portion such that the attachment of the second portion onto the first portion changes the elastic profile of the garment from a first elastic profile to a second elastic profile; and wherein the dimensions of the first and second portions are selected such that the relative amount of the circumference of the body part that is covered by each of the first and second portions of the garment results in a garment applying a pre-determined range of compression level fluctuation to the body part during wear.

This disclosure relates to the field of compression garments and uses thereof.

A compression system for applying compression to a body part of a user comprising a sleeve for substantially covering a portion of the body part of a user. The sleeve has two lateral side edges. The sleeve comprises a first lateral side region, a central region and a second lateral side region in a transverse direction from the first lateral side edge to the second lateral side edge. At least the central region of the sleeve comprises a material having elasticity in the transverse direction and longitudinal direction of the sleeve, The compression system further comprises a releasable closure system. The closure system is configured and arranged relative to the sleeve, such that, in use, upon closure of the closure system the sleeve is restrained and tightened about the body part of the user.
