AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing compression socks cause skin disorders such as dermatitis, erythema, and purpura in wearers with weak skin due to localized high compression, skin irritation from materials like polyurethane elastic threads, and have durability issues under high tension.

Method used

A tubular knitted structure with fiber loops on both sides, using a pile knitting structure and bouclé yarn, composed of continuous fibers with controlled height and density, to distribute pressure evenly, absorb moisture, and enhance durability.

Benefits of technology

Prevents skin disorders by evenly distributing pressure, quickly absorbing and evaporating moisture, and providing high durability, ensuring comfort and safety for wearers with sensitive skin.

Abstract

To provide a cylindrical bandage which does not cause dermatopathy even for a wearer with weak skin such as an aged person and is excellent in durability.SOLUTION: A cylindrical bandage is composed of a cylindrical knitted texture capable of being put on the lower limb of a human body, and has fiber loops on both surfaces of at least part of the bandage. The knitted texture is knitted using a yarn including a boucle yarn, and the float yarn of the boucle yarn forms a fiber loop on both surfaces of the knitted texture. The fiber loop has a pitch of 2 mm or less and a height of 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm. Preferably, the cylindrical bandage is used in the form of elastic socks.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
