Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] Compression articles such as compression sleeves, compression gloves, socks and the like are used in particular to prevent or treat edemas, varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and after vein surgery. Further elastic articles are joint bandages or burn-care bandages. Support bandages are used in sports to project against injury and, to a certain extent, to enhance performance. These articles are manufactured primarily as knitted garments, due to their good elastic properties. It is possible to manufacture the articles on a circular knitting machine. Tubes having a constant or variable—with limits—diameter can be produced on circular knitting machines. The advantage of these tubes is that they have no seams, which could possibly cause pressure points. On the other hand, the circularly-knit, elastic articles cannot always be adapted in an optimum manner to the anatomical details of the part of the body to be supported or compressed. The fit and desi...
