Abstract: A method for producing tubular compression knitted fabric includes: knitting a tubular first section of a basic knitted fabric forming stitches from at least one knitting yarn along a knitting direction, with a plurality of rows of stitches following one another in the knitting direction and an elastic weft yarn bound into the stitches via tuck stitches; and seamlessly knitting of a second section onto the first section along the knitting direction. In the second section viewed in the knitting direction, the number of stitches is successively reduced at least in some of the successive rows of stitches by transferring of stitches, thereby forming a closed dome-shaped end at the distal end of the second section by a reduction of stitches. The compression knitted fabric is usable to create prosthetic stockings for an amputated limb to apply compression pressure with a defined pressure profile without causing skin irritation.

Abstract: A seamless compression article is knitted on a flatbed knitting machine having a front needle bed and a rear needle bed opposite thereto. The compression article includes a base structure of at least one weft thread, at least one elastic warp thread inserted or knitted therein, and at least one tubular or pocket-like receptacle extending along a longitudinal direction for at least one finger or at least one toe of a wearer of the compression article and can be placed on a body extremity of the wearer extending in the longitudinal direction. The receptacle includes a number of rib-like elevations, which run substantially parallel to each other and along the longitudinal direction of the corresponding receptacle. Putting on the compression article can thereby be facilitated.

Abstract: A knitted compression article with tubular or pocketlike receiving members for receiving at least one finger or toe of a wearer of the compression article, with a spacer element being disposed at least between two adjacent receiving members. Putting on such garment parts can be made easier and the fabrication of such garment parts can be simplified and, in particular, can be carried out in a single continuous knitting process without the need for subsequent sewing steps by providing that each receiving member has a front ply and a back ply and that the front ply and the back ply are seamlessly knitted to each other so as to create a tubular or pocketlike receiving member, with the spacer element or each spacer element being formed by connecting the front ply and the back ply to each other by a machine knitting technique.
