Abstract: Method for selecting an elastic venous restraint orthosis intended to be slipped onto a lower limb of a patient. Acquisition of a photograph representing the skin of the limb and a calibration map including one or more calibration zones. The calibration map is placed on the limb in a position termed the “acquisition position.” Calibration of the photograph by the calibration zone or zones, in such a way that the representation of the skin on the photograph exhibits a calibrated colour. Selection, as a function of the calibrated colour, by computer and from a set of colours of a tone chart, of a tone chart colour, preferably of the tone chart colour closest to the calibrated colour, termed the “optimal colour,” and then determination, by computer, of an orthosis colour as a function of the tone chart colour selected. Selection of an orthosis exhibiting the orthosis colour.

Abstract: An orthosis chosen from an elastic venous retention orthosis and an elastic venous compression orthosis is intended to treat a venous disorder of a lower limb of a patient in a service position in which it is fitted, via an opening, on the lower member, the orthosis having a ribbed top and a leg part, the ribbed top including a rim that delimits the opening, the orthosis being characterized in that the front part of the rim of the ribbed top has, on average, an altitude greater than that of the rear part of the rim of the ribbed top.

Abstract: An orthosis chosen from an elastic venous retention orthosis and an elastic venous compression orthosis is intended to treat a venous disorder of a lower limb of a patient in a service position in which it is fitted on the lower limb. The orthosis has a leg part, a ribbed top configured to maintain the orthosis in the service position, and a tab fixed on the ribbed top in such a way as to be accessible to the patient in the service position.

Abstract: A device for taking a measurement of a dimension of a part of the body of a patient, includes: an electronic tape measure having a portable housing, a winder accommodated in the housing, a tape which is partially wound on the winder and of which a portion, called the “unwound portion”, extends outside the housing, and a measuring module for a measurement, relative to the unwound portion; a consistency control module for checking the consistency of the measurement by at least one consistency rule and at least one context datum; and an alert module for delivering an alert if an inconsistency is detected by the consistency control module.
