Compression device

A compression device for applying a predetermined compression to a limb comprising:

• a pliable non-extensible sheet to be wrapped around a limb, where said sheet is provided with a plurality of cooperating first and second fastening parts each along opposing edges of the sheet, thereby to secure the device to the limb;
• wherein the first fastening part is provided with a plurality of first and a plurality of second indicia with each respective first indicia being associated with a predetermined respective second indicia to provide the predetermined compression by visually indicating the relative movement of said first fastening part relative to said second fastening part between (a) the application of fastening said fastening parts until there is no slack and there is zero tension as indicated by a noted said first indicia showing at a contact point of the first and second fastening parts, and (b) the application of a predetermined optimal degree of tension as indicated by a respective said second indicia associated with the noted said first indicia on fastening showing at the point of contact of said first and second fastening parts to provide compression.
