Abstract
A sensitivity enhancement wearable having at least one aperture possessing unique attributes so that a sensitivity enhanced region of a body extends through the aperture thereby creating increased sensitivity in the sensitivity enhanced region.
Claims20
A method of increasing sensitivity of a portion of a human body, comprising:
- A) measuring an attribute of the body portion;
- B) creating an elastic wearable, a portion of which has an initial size less than the measured attribute, the elastic wearable including (i) an elastic wearable substrate that stretches by at least 2.5 mm when subjected to a tensile load of 2.5 lbf, and (ii) a substrate aperture defining a passageway through the elastic wearable substrate, wherein the substrate aperture has an aperture length of 0.5-3.0 cm, an aperture width of 0.5-3.0 cm, and an aperture perimeter;
- and
- C) covering a portion of the body portion with the elastic wearable and imparting a compressive pressure of at least 10 mm Hg on the body portion and causing a sensitivity enhanced region of the body portion to extend through the substrate aperture a proud distance of at least 1.0 mm from the aperture perimeter and thereby creating increased sensitivity in the sensitivity enhanced region.

- B) creating a wearable including (i) an aperture defining a passageway through the wearable, wherein the aperture has an aperture length of 0.5-3.0 cm, an aperture width of 0.5-3.0 cm, and an aperture perimeter, and (ii) a compression system;
- and
- C) covering a portion of the body portion with the wearable and adjusting the compression system change a dimension of the wearable so that a portion is less than the measured attribute, thereby imparting a compressive pressure on the body portion and causing a sensitivity enhanced region of the body portion to extend through the substrate aperture a proud distance of 1.0-7.0 mm from the aperture perimeter and thereby creating increased sensitivity in the sensitivity enhanced region.
