Abstract: There is provided a therapeutic medical compression garment with an integrally knit anti-slip portion. The anti-slip portion of the garment is located in the upper area thereof. In the embodiment wherein the garment is a stocking, the anti-slip portion is placed in the thigh area of the thigh-hi stocking or the upper calf area of the knee-hi stocking. In the thigh-hi stockings, the anti-slip section may start just above the knee or be located in the upper thigh area (for use in mobilized patients, the anti-slip section may start already just above) the ankle area, e.g., also in knee-hi stockings at the calves upwards.

Abstract: A knitted therapeutic medical compression stocking made from courses of bi-component fibers inlaid courses of spandex yarn. The use of bi-component yarns, in particular, crimped yarns having an elastomeric core preferably of a polyurethane and a thermoplastic sheath preferably of a polyamide when knit with inlaid courses of bare spandex, covered spandex, or spandex covered with a bi-component yarn forms therapeutic medical stockings that provide excellent compression control. In addition, these therapeutic stockings are more transparent than conventional therapeutic stockings. The therapeutic stockings of the present invention may be knit on a conventional circular hosiery knitting machine.
