Abstract: A compression knit fabric consisting of a base knit and an elastic weft yarn inserted therein. The base knit is formed from at least one knitting yarn, and the weft yarn is inserted in weft yarn courses between two consecutive stitch courses of the base knit. The knitting yarn in each stitch course of the base knit is knit in alternation as loop stitch and tuck, so that the knitting yarn forms a tuck stitch between two loops of a stitch course of the base knit. The weft yarn is inserted between adjacent stitch courses of the base knit in alternation as tuck and float so that the weft yarn floats between two tuck stitches of a weft yarn course. The alternating sequence of loop stitch and tuck in consecutive stitch courses of the base knit is offset by a stitch relative to the alternating sequence of tuck and float in consecutive weft yarn courses.

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 receptable 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: In a foot bandage for compression therapy of lymphedema on the foot, with a sole section, side sections connected laterally to sole section, which are joined to each other at least in a section that comes to lie above the heel when the foot bandage is applied, and at least a distal tab section made of an elastic material, which can be wound around the instep and fastened to a side section in order to exert compression on the foot, in which the distal tab section or each tab section has at least one pull tab on which fasteners are arranged, a proximal compression band made from elastic material fastenable removably to the side sections is provided. The compression band has at least a first fastener and is attached to the side sections by means of the first fastener above the heel, when the foot bandage is applied in area.

Abstract: A compression bandage for treating lymphatic edema. The compression bandage includes a bandage body made of a resilient material to be wrapped around the body extremity, with a first group of fastening straps. The fastening straps of the first group are arranged on an end section of the bandage body, are separated from one another by notches in the bandage body, and, in each case, have first fastening elements, by which the respective fastening strap of the first group can be fastened to the outside of the bandage body when the body bandage is wrapped around the body extremity. In order to prevent the swollen body tissue from being able to pass through, between the notches in the first group of fastening straps, a second group of fastening straps is provided, which is fastened to the outside of the bandage body and whose fastening straps are arranged so that they cover the notches when the compression bandage is applied on a body extremity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compression bandage for mammals, in particular for horses, comprising a tubular bandage (1) made of an elastic textile material, which can be opened and closed along a longitudinal slit (2) by means of fastening elements. To design this type of bandage in such a manner that it can be applied to the leg of a mammal using the easiest possible technique and that it can ensure an excellent fit even over an extended period of time so that the most uniformly constant and defined compressive pressure is exerted by the bandage on the leg of the mammal, the present invention proposes that the fastening elements comprise a zipper (3) which extends along the longitudinal slit (2), at last one fastener strap (4) which, when closed, straddles the longitudinal slit (2) in the transverse direction, and a hook fastener (5) which extends along the longitudinal slit (2).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a circular knit fabric for use in compression therapy of lymphedemas, having a surface with a patterned structure with protuberances (1) which, when in contact with the body part to be treated with compression therapy, exert pressure on the surface of the body part and which, when the body part moves, produce a massaging effect. To create such a circular knit fabric that is comfortable to the wearer and that, when worn, exerts a sufficiently high compressive pressure on the body part to be treated and, at the same time, improves lymph drainage, the invention proposes that the structured surface have a regular pattern in the form of chambers (2) that are bounded by protuberances (1), with the chambers (2a, 2b, 2c) that are adjacent to each other being connected to each other by means of connecting channels (3) in the longitudinal direction (L) of the circular knit fabric.
