Abstract
A therapeutic compression garment, including: a body portion; and a spine portion, wherein the bands extending from either the body portion and/or spine portion attach the body and spine portions together when the body and spine portions are wrapped around a body limb, and wherein the spine portion is releasably attached onto the body portion such that the spine portion is positionable at different locations on the body portion.
Claims19
A therapeutic compression garment, comprising:
- a body portion having a plurality of bands extending from one side;
- and
- a spine portion having a plurality of bands extending from one side opposite the bands of the body portion, the spine portion comprising a plurality of fastener tabs each separated by a spacing and positioned along a curved edge opposite the plurality of bands of the spine portion,
- an intermediary portion positioned between the body portion and the spine portion, wherein the intermediary portion is removably attached to the body portion and the spine portion, wherein the body portion and the spine portion are connected together by way of the intermediary portion;
- wherein the bands of the body and spine portion are flexible and operable to be wrapped around a limb and the spine and body portions are separate pieces;
- wherein the bands extending from the body portion and the spine portion attach the body and spine portions together when the body and spine portions are wrapped around the limb,
- wherein the intermediary portion is releasably attached onto the body portion by positioning a fastener tab of the intermediary portion on the body portion;
- and
- wherein the spine portion is releasably attached onto the intermediary portion by positioning each fastener tab at different positions and independently angling each fastener tab at different orientations on the intermediary portion due to the spacing so that the body and spine portions are fastened together and adjusted to a contour of the limb.
