Claims19
A compression garment, comprising:
- a body dimensioned to wrap at least partially around a limb of a subject, wherein the body comprises a single contiguous body having a first body end and a second body end with a vertical body length defined therebetween, and a body width that is perpendicular to the body length;
- a plurality of trimmable tension bands located vertically along the body length and extending outwardly from the body width;
- a plurality of fasteners positioned on the plurality of trimmable tension bands for attachment of the plurality of trimmable tension bands onto the body or one or more of the plurality of trimmable tension bands;
- and
- a limb positioning sleeve having a first sleeve end defined by a first length and a second sleeve end defined by a second length, each of the first sleeve end and the second sleeve end being affixed to the body or one or more of the plurality of trimmable tension bands, wherein the first sleeve end is affixed to the body or one or more of the plurality of trimmable tension bands along the first length and the second sleeve end is affixed to the body or one or more of the plurality of trimmable tension bands along the second length, wherein the first sleeve length and the second sleeve length are each less than the vertical body length,
- wherein the limb positioning sleeve is adapted to hold the body in position on the limb of the subject apart from attachment of the plurality of trimmable tension bands onto the body or one or more of the plurality of trimmable tension bands, and wherein the first sleeve end and the second sleeve end are affixed to the body or one or more of the plurality of trimmable tension bands such that the first sleeve end and the second sleeve end are positioned at different heights along the body length,
- wherein each of the first sleeve end and the second sleeve end is fixedly attached to an inner side of the body,
- wherein when applied to a limb of the subject, a circumference of the limb positioning sleeve is less than a circumference of the compression garment.
