Problems solved by technology

It should be appreciated that such an all-to-measure technique is tedious, complex and thus expensive to perform, and does not make such rigid clamping products widespread despite their clear therapeutic advantages

Embodiment Construction

[0060] exist figure 1 with 2 In , reference numeral 10 generally designates the orthosis of the present invention, which is a knitted orthosis made by using conventional methods on a circular knitting machine. The tubular orthosis 10 includes a portion 12 that encloses a portion of the foot and leg, a distal portion 14 that encloses the ankle, and a proximal portion 16 that encloses the calf. When the orthosis is a "knee length" sock (or a "calf length sock"), it extends all the way up to below the knee level. In the latter case, the orthosis is terminated by a "ribbed" braided terminal portion 18 .

[0061] The sock-shaped configuration is not limiting, and the invention can also be implemented as a "thigh length" stocking by extending and compressing the thigh portion 20 . The orthosis of the invention can also be made as a pair of pantyhose and / or without a foot portion 12 ("footless" type stockings or paired pantyhose).

[0062] The various joining parts of the orthosi...

Abstract

The orthosis (10) is related herein and comprises an elastic compressive distal portion (14), extending upwards from the ankle, associated with an adjacent rigid splint proximal portion (16), enveloping the region of the calf comprised between the level of the point where the Achilles tendon joins the calf muscles and the level located below the tibial tuberosity. This rigid splint proximal portion (16) is an essentially non-elastic, deformable tubular portion, made by: placing the orthosis onto a template representative of the morphology of the patient's calf; applying in situ on the orthosis, in the region of the splint proximal portion, a hardenable biocompatible resin; hardening the resin with the orthosis maintained on the template; and removing the orthosis in its finished state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an elastic venous compression (EVC) orthosis that is reflected in various clinical manifestations of venous insufficiency of the lower extremities. Background technique [0002] The orthosis, formerly known as an "elastic stocking (or sock)" or "elastic pantyhose," is a textile medical device in contrast to the non-medical "support stocking" ( Also "support stockings" or "anti-fatigue stockings") as well as "fashion stockings", which produce a therapeutic effect by compressing the lower extremities. [0003] EVC orthoses are designed to produce a therapeutic effect by compressing the lower extremity to a greater or lesser extent, usually with a decreasing profile starting at the ankle and going up. Depending on the type of orthosis, the pressure measured at the ankle can vary from 10 mmHg to greater than 36 mmHg (ie, from 13-48 hPa, but in the fields of phlebology and medical compression the unit mmHg is commonly used ...
