Benefits of technology

[0014]The material from which the textile structure is manufactured can also be selected within wide limits. Suitable materials comprise glass fibers, carbon fibers, organic fibers such as for instance polyaramid fibers, polyethylene fibers, polyamide fibers, polyester fibers and so on. A particularly suitable aid comprises a textile structure manufactured from a plastic selected from the group of polyesters and/or polyamides. The frictional resistance of the materials moving against each

Embodiment Construction

[0022]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 an aid 1 is shown intended for pulling off elastic stockings. Aid 1 comprises a flexible tubular peripheral body 2 of a smooth material. Peripheral body 2 is provided on the outer side thereof (during use this is the side remote from leg 20) with fixation means 10 with which aid 1 can be arranged at least temporarily round leg 20.

[0023]The lateral sides 5 and 6 of peripheral body 2 can both be open according to the invention. In the preferred embodiment as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, lateral side 5 forms an opening through which the leg can be inserted during use. Lateral side 6 forms a closed edge obtained by stitching together contacting peripheral edges along stitched seam 7. The shown tube-like aid 1 is easy to manufacture and is preferably more or less conical, wherein the open edge portion 5 is wider than the closed edge portion 6. In order to facilitate putting on aid 1, the edge portion 5 comprises a substantially straight first edge portion...

Abstract

The invention relates to an aid for pulling off elastic stockings, particularly in the health care sector. The aid comprises a flexible, tube-like peripheral body of a smooth material, which in use can be slid round a leg provided with elastic stockings. The peripheral body is provided on its side remote from the leg with fixation means for arranging the aid at least temporarily round the leg.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1) Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to an aid for pulling off elastic stockings.[0003]2) Description of the Related Art[0004]An elastic stocking or support stocking is an article of clothing usually applied as medical aid for users with varicose veins and other vascular problems. Because the support stocking fits tightly round the leg of the user, it exerts a relatively high tension on this leg. It is precisely because of this high tension that the user encounters problems when putting on the stocking, but also when pulling off the stocking. When putting on the stocking, the user first brings the stocking into “rolled-up” position, subsequently places his / her foot into the opening of the stocking and unrolls the stocking along the foot and leg until the stocking fits tightly round the leg. The elastic stocking must be removed daily. Because the stocking fits so tightly onto the leg, pulling off the stocking also requires relatively g...
