Abstract: A pre or post-operative surgical compression garment composed of Lycra and cotton including one or more strips of flexible fabric fastener, also used for triage. The flexible fabric fastener comprises a flexible and stretchable polyester and rubber elastic material in which Velcro®-type nylon loops on the male part or hooks on the female part are woven there through. The Velcro®-type hooks or loops will cover alternative portions of the elastic base composing the elements of the flexible fabric fastener. One strip of the flexible fabric fastener is sewn with polyester and rubber thread to the underside of the top flap of the garment. Two evenly spaced parallel strips are sewn on the top of the second flap affording the opportunity for horizontal multi-sizing in one garment and vertical stretch. Each compression garment is supplied with multi-support panels for chest, back, abdomen, and inner and outer leg portions for comfort.
