Abstract
A graduated compression garment is disclosed that includes a plurality of longitudinal fuzzy wales arranged to form a fabric with a plurality of transverse elastomeric threads under variable tension connecting the adjacent longitudinal fuzzy wales to deliver a first level of elastic compression distally on a limb and a gradually decreasing level of elastic compression as the limb increases in diameter proximally.

A graduated compression garment comprising:
- a plurality of longitudinal fuzzy wales arranged to form a fabric with a plurality of transverse elastomeric threads under variable tension connecting the adjacent longitudinal fuzzy wales to deliver a first level of elastic compression distally on a limb and a gradually decreasing level of elastic compression as the limb increases in diameter proximally, the plurality of longitudinally fuzzy wales formed from a material having a diameter approximately 11 times larger than a diameter of a material utilized for forming the plurality of transverse elastomeric threads, wherein a continuous longitudinal arrangement of the plurality of longitudinal fuzzy wales is maintained during any stretch state of the plurality of longitudinal fuzzy wales.
