Compression Garment Adjustable Pressure via Predefined Folding

The compression garment is designed as a universal one-size-fits-all product that can be adapted to different body part sizes through folding configurations. The garment includes predefined fold lines that allow users to create different folding patterns (e.g., single fold, double fold, triple fold) to adjust the compression level and accommodate various circumferences, eliminating the need for multiple size variants while maintaining pressure consistency across different individuals.

The garment is divided into multiple sections with predefined fold lines that segment the continuous fabric into controllable zones. Each section can be independently folded to create localized pressure variations along the longitudinal direction. The fold lines act as segmentation boundaries that allow precise control over where pressure gradients occur, simplifying manufacturing compared to continuously varying the circumference while achieving the same pressure distribution effect.

Instead of varying the elastic properties of the material itself, the invention changes the geometric parameter (number of layers) through folding. The same uniform elastic material is used throughout, but by folding the garment one, two, or three times in different sections, the effective compression pressure is adjusted. This approach maintains ease of manufacture with uniform material while achieving precise pressure control through geometric transformation.

Instead of using fasteners to prevent stretching, the invention inverts the approach by using folding to create controlled stretching. The garment is applied in an unfolded state for easy donning, then folded in place to create the desired compression. The folding mechanism naturally controls the stretching amount through the geometry of the fold, eliminating the need for complex fastening systems while improving ease of operation.
