A compression garment for providing an adjustable pressure towards a body part is disclosed. The compression garment comprises a unitary single sheet of elastic material arranged to encircle the full circumference of a body part, such as a limb or the head. The sheet is folded or arranged to be folded in at least one predefined way, so that the folding forms one or more defined overlap(s) forming at least two overlaying layers of the sheet encircling the full circumference of a part of the body part. Hereby, the pressure profile of the garment can easily be adjusted by making use of the garment in different folded configurations. Markings may further be provided to provide guidance towards the predefined ways of folding.

A pressure relief apparatus is provided for a wound on a patient body. The pressure relief apparatus includes a pliable body including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first surface contacts with the patient body. Further, the pliable body defines an aperture that is sized to surround the wound. The pliable body is made of a washable foam material. The pressure relief apparatus further includes at least one fastening member attached to the pliable body, wherein the at least one fastening member detachably secures the pliable body to a portion of the patient body.

Is a taping method that follows a specific set of rules based on anatomical and physiological patterns in humans. This taping method causes a change in skeletal muscle tone in the human body, when tape is directly applied to the skin of the human body over targeted tendons and surrounding structures going over joints. This taping method will inhibit the muscle tone in the antagonist muscle of the opposing side of the joint where the tape is applied, while simultaneously eliciting the agonist of the muscle that are attached by the tendon of the joint where the tape is applied.

Tubular bandage, in particular a finger or toe bandage which is formed as a tube comprising an outer layer which is connected to an inner layer, and wherein the outer layer has a diameter and an elasticity such that the bandage can be clamped adhesive-free around the body part to be treated, in the particular, said finger or said toe, and wherein the inner layer is made of an elastic wound-protective material, wherein said outer layer is made of an air-permeable and water-repellent material, and wherein, at the open endings, said outer layer extends in the longitudinal direction over the inner layer over a distance of more than 0.5 mm, such that the outer layer touches the body part to be treated, in particular a finger or toe, with its endings when applied.

According to the various features, characteristics and embodiments of the present invention which will become apparent as the description thereof proceeds, the present invention provides reusable grip enhancing tubular members for the arm area, in particular sports sleeves for the arm and forearm, and reusable grip enhancing tubular members for the hand, in particular sports finger cots for the hand, and the uses thereof, and methods thereof, intended to increase the performance in arm and/or hand task activities.

An acupressure sleeve for applying acupressure to predetermined acupoints on an arm of a user includes a sleeve body and an acupressure unit. The sleeve body is configured to elastically and tightly press against the arm of the user when the acupressure sleeve is worn by the user. The sleeve body has a fiber substrate, and a plurality of far-infrared particles and a plurality of negative ion particles blended in the fiber substrate. The acupressure unit includes a plurality of acupressure protrusions protruding from the fiber substrate into an interior of the sleeve body and configured to apply acupressure to the arm of the user at positions respectively corresponding to the predetermined acupoints.

To configure a pad so as to be gentle to the skin, to prevent stretching and/or tearing of the front surface sheet, and to not reduce liquid permeability and air permeability. [Solution] An underarm sweat pad in which an absorbent is interposed between a front surface sheet and a back surface sheet and which is used folded in two at a folding line and attached to the inside of the axillary portion of a garment. The front surface sheet is composed of a hydrophilic cellulose fiber. Adhesive regions, in which an adhesive for bonding the front surface sheet to the absorbent is applied, are formed as stripes that are parallel to the folding line and are spaced at intervals in the direction that is orthogonal to the folding line.

Wound therapy compression garments and layered dressing kits are described. In an aspect, a kit includes a compression garment and one or more fenestrated dressing layers. The compression garment includes a plurality of hydrophobic longitudinal wales arranged to form a fabric with a plurality of hydrophilic transverse elastomeric threads under variable tension connecting adjacent ones of the hydrophobic longitudinal wales in such way as to deliver elastic compression at a wound site. The hydrophobic longitudinal wales and the hydrophilic transverse elastomeric threads cooperate to generate hydrostatic pressure for transporting fluid away from the wound site. The fenestrated dressing layer(s) is configured to form a textured interface with the compression garment and increase movement of fluid away from the wound site.
