Publication number: 20240009067Abstract: A compression garment for circulatory-related disorder therapy includes a skin contacting layer, a second layer coupled to the skin contacting layer, and connectors disposed on the second layer. The skin contacting layer and the second layer form one or more macro-chambers. Each macro-chamber is partitioned into a plurality of micro-chambers. Each of the micro-chambers is in direct fluid communication with at least one other of the micro-chambers. Each of the connectors is configured to supply pressurized air directly into at least a corresponding one of the macro-chambers such that the pressurized air is delivered to at least one of the micro-chambers within the macro-chamber. The coupling of the skin contacting layer and the second layer is along a layer attachment profile that defines the macro-chambers and the micro-chambers. At least one of the micro-chambers is linked to another of the micro-chambers by way of a plurality of openings.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2021Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Dinesh Ramanan, Blythe Guy Rees-Jones, Tzu-Chin Yu, Matthew John Backler, Francis Eric Saunders

Publication number: 20200237607Abstract: A compression garment for providing circulatory-related disorder therapy includes a skin contacting layer, a second layer, and one or more connectors. The second layer is coupled to the skin contacting layer such that the skin contacting layer and the second layer form one or more independent macro-chambers partitioned into a plurality of micro-chambers. Each of the plurality of micro-chambers is in direct fluid communication with at least one other of the plurality of micro-chambers. The connectors are disposed on the second layer and are configured to supply pressurized air directly into a corresponding one of the macro-chambers such that the pressurized air is delivered to the plurality of micro-chambers. The coupling includes a weld profile that defines the macro-chambers and micro-chambers. A pneumatic spine for a compression garment including a plurality of independent air chambers for implementing circulatory-related disorder therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Dinesh RAMANAN, Blythe Guy REES-JONES, Tzu-Chin Yu, Matthew John BACKLER, Francis Eric SAUNDERS

Publication number: 20170175310Abstract: Various fabrics, compression garments and compression garment systems are described. Fabrics formed from wicking and absorbent materials provide effective compression and an improved environment next to a wearer's skin, which provides greater comfort and improved overall performance. Two and multi-layer compression garments are described. An outer layer may be formed with an opening having a closure and an elastic material joining the sides of the opening. This provides a first level of compression with the closure open and a second level of compression with the closure closed and also helps a user in applying the garment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2017Publication date: June 22, 2017Applicant: Levana Textiles LimitedInventors: Blythe Guy REES-JONES, Rogier Rolf SIMONS, Stewart Roger COLLIE, Marie Stella SNELL
