Problems solved by technology

[0006] Referring especially to the ankle, since the vessels located at the ankle are laterally oriented (unlike those at the knee, which pass in the area of ​​the rib fossa, over the back of the joint), when sitting Bending in this position when in the lower position will cause compression of the vessels, causing not only discomfort, but also the risk of inappropriate and highly uncomfortable local compression, leading to edema etc. in this particularly sensitive area

Embodiment Construction

[0019] exist figure 1 , part a represents a lower limb in a sitting position with the heel supported, and part b represents the lower limb in a sitting position with the heel unsupported. Reference numeral 2 denotes a thigh, numeral 4 denotes a lower leg (in a narrow sense), numeral 6 denotes a foot, numeral 8 denotes a knee joint, and numeral 10 denotes an ankle joint.

[0020] exist figure 1 In position a, the calf and foot are roughly vertical as they are in the standing position, which corresponds to the shape of the designed elastic stocking or tights.

[0021] Conversely, in a seated position with the heel unsupported (eg figure 1 As shown in b), traditional stockings or tights will form a curved area 12, which constitutes a special place for wrinkles and shrinkage, which is not only uncomfortable (due to the wrinkles), but also the most important This results in excessive compression of the transverse vessels near the ankle joint, which, as mentioned above, differ fr...

Abstract

This compressive orthosis, which comprises a compressive knitted leg part (14), is characterised in that it is essentially devoid of foot and heel and in that the leg end region comprises a resilient supporting strip (16) on the malleoli (18) provided on the skin-side surface with an antiskid coating.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of compression orthosis for one or both lower extremities, commonly known as "elastic stockings" or "elastic tights". Background technique [0002] Although the terms "tights" and "tights" are used hereinafter, the invention is not limited to one particular article, but applies equally to all compression orthotics, whether tights (i.e., covering two lower body and one-piece garment from the abdomen to the waist), one-leg tights (tights with one leg and intended to provide compressive support for only one lower body), stockings (covering the thigh and calf), Still in the form of socks or socks (covering only the calf). [0003] In order to enable a strong compression of one or both lower limbs, these articles consist of elastic material, typically a very fine mesh-like knit, which presents several difficulties. [0004] The first difficulty, especially with all types of elastic stockings or tights, is that th...
