  • Publication number: 20260137581
    Abstract: A compression garment wrapped around a limb of a user includes a foam layer having a first face configured to oppose the limb of the user when wrapped around the limb of the user, and a second face opposite the first face. The foam layer includes a first plurality of perforations extending through the foam layer from the first face to the second face. The compression garment also includes a moisture wicking layer on the first face of the foam layer that wicks moisture in a transverse direction away from the first face of the foam layer, and to spread the moisture in a lateral direction within the moisture wicking layer perpendicular to the transverse direction, to wick moisture to a portion of the first plurality of perforations to exit the foam layer.

  • Patent number: 12498281
    Abstract: A compression measuring device includes a substrate configured to be attached to a first location on a stretchable fabric of a worn compression garment. The compression measuring device includes a deformable arm cantilevered across a first end of the substrate, being fixed to the substrate at a fixed end and extending across the first end of the substrate to a cantilevered end of the deformable arm. The compression measuring device includes a bridge attached to the deformable arm at a first end of the bridge and extending away from the deformable arm out past a second end of the substrate. A second end of the bridge is attached to a second location on the stretchable fabric. The compression measuring device includes a strain gauge mounted to the deformable arm and configured to measure an electrical resistance when the bridge pulls on and deforms the deformable arm.

  • Patent number: 11723811
    Abstract: A low-elastic compression garment includes a central main portion and multiple straps that extend laterally from the central main portion. Notches may be provided where the straps meet the central main portion, and may be formed into the central main portion adjacent to respective straps. With the notches, when the compression garment is in a wrapped position, lateral edges of adjacent straps that are associated with the notches overlap without gaps or bunching of the strap material. The compression garment may include distal and proximal counter pull tabs that extend from opposite edges of the central main portion. When the distal and proximal counter pull tabs are pulled by the user, pulling forces are transmitted in opposing directions to tension the straps. A removable fastening tab is provided respectively at ends of each of the straps.

  • Patent number: 11602462
    Abstract: A compression garment includes a main body including a central portion and a plurality of straps that extend from the central portion. The central portion has a lateral edge having first regions from which the straps extend from the central portion, and second regions from which the straps do not extend. A connecting portion is fixed to the main body and is fixed to at least a portion of the second regions. The straps are moveable to reverse the compression garment between a first state and a second state. The straps may be moveable around the connecting portion, or may be feedable through the connecting portion, to reverse the compression garment between the first state and the second state. The connecting portion and the main body may define a plurality of slits through which the straps are insertable to reverse the compression garment.
