Abstract
A compression sock may include a body comprising an inner face and an outer face, the inner face configured to interface with a wearer's anatomy, the body further comprising: a forefoot region, a midfoot region, a hindfoot region, a tendon region, a shin region; and a calf region. The compression sock may further include a plurality of sequential pulls coupled to the outer face of the body, at least one pull located proximal each region. Each pull may be configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock.
Claims7
A compression sock configured to be worn by a wearer, comprising:
- a body comprising an inner face and an outer face, the inner face configured to interface with a wearer's anatomy, the body comprising an elastic material configured to apply a compressive force to a foot and calf of the wearer, the body including:
- a forefoot region;
- a midfoot region;
- a hindfoot region;
- a tendon region;
- a shin region;
- and a calf region;
- and
- a plurality of sequential pulls coupled to the outer face of the body, at least one pull located proximal each region, and wherein each pull includes an opening in the compression sock and is configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock, wherein the forefoot region is configured to be proximal a wearer's metatarsals, wherein a first pull is proximal the forefoot region and is configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock over the wearer's metatarsals, wherein the midfoot region is configured to be proximal a wearer's medial navicular, wherein a second pull is proximal the midfoot region and is configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock over the wearer's medial navicular, wherein the midfoot region is configured to be proximal a wearer's lateral cuboid, wherein a third pull is proximal the midfoot region and is configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock over the wearer's lateral cuboid, wherein the hindfoot region is configured to be proximal a wearer's medial malleolus, wherein a fourth pull is proximal the hindfoot region and is configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock over the wearer's medial malleolus, wherein the hindfoot region is configured to be proximal a wearer's lateral malleolus, wherein a fifth pull is located proximal the hindfoot region and is configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock over the wearer's lateral malleolus, wherein the tendon region is configured to be proximal a wearer's Achilles tendon, wherein a sixth pull is located proximal the tendon region and is configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock over the wearer's Achilles tendon, wherein the shin region is configured to be proximal a wearer's medial tibial tuberosity, wherein a seventh pull is located proximal the shin region and is configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock over the wearer's medial tibial tuberosity, wherein the shin region is configured to be proximal a wearer's lateral tibial tuberosity, wherein an eighth pull is located proximal the shin region and is configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock over the wearer's lateral tibial tuberosity, wherein the calf region is configured to be proximal a wearer's posterior calf, wherein a ninth pull is located proximal the calf region and is configured to generate leverage for the wearer donning and doffing the compression sock over the wearer's posterior calf.
