Patent Images
1. A compression system, comprising:
- a seamless, inner sleeve comprising a long-stretch elastomeric material and an interior terry surface; and
an elongated outer wrap comprising a long-stretch elastomeric material;
wherein, when applied to a patient'"'"'s limb, the inner sleeve exerts a first compressive pressure that secures the inner sleeve in a therapeutic position on the limb, andwherein, when applied by stretching over the inner sleeve, the outer wrap exerts a second compressive pressure and frictionally engages the inner sleeve, thereby securing the compression system as a single compressive entity in the therapeutic position on the limb.

Abstract
A sleeve-wrap compression system can include a seamless, inner sleeve comprising a long-stretch elastomeric material and an interior terry surface; and an elongated outer wrap comprising a long-stretch elastomeric material. When applied to a patient'"'"'s limb, the inner sleeve can exert a first compressive pressure that secures the inner sleeve in a therapeutic position on the limb. When applied by stretching over the inner sleeve, the outer wrap can exert a second compressive pressure and frictionally engage the inner sleeve, thereby securing the compression system as a single compressive entity in the therapeutic position on the limb.

21. A compression system, comprising:
-
a seamless sleeve comprising (a) a long-stretch elastomeric material, (b) a stitch construction that permits horizontal stretch with minimal vertical stretch, and (c) an interior terry surface, wherein, when applied to a patient'"'"'s limb, the sleeve exerts about 5-10 mm Hg of compressive pressure uniformly throughout the sleeve that secures the sleeve in a therapeutic position on the limb, and wherein the sleeve is configured to have secured thereto a compression wrap overlying the sleeve. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. A compression system, comprising:
-
an elongated wrap comprising (a) a long-stretch elastomeric material, (b) a stitch construction having minimal cross-stretch, and (c) a range of longitudinal stretch to about 165% greater than a relaxed length; wherein, when applied to a patient'"'"'s limb, the wrap exerts a compressive pressure that secures the wrap in a therapeutic position on the limb, and wherein the compressive pressure exerted by the wrap comprises defined amounts of compressive pressure correlated with various amounts of longitudinal stretch. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27)
