<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a supporter for effectively treating lymphedema and easily wearable to anyone. <P>SOLUTION: This supporter is made of a fabric having stretchability on the whole and covering from the ankle to the femoral region and wearable through adding and subtracting pressure applied to the leg with a velvet type fastener. The supporter is, for instance, made plane-like through stitching on the back center of the leg two fabrics covering each the inside and outside of the leg from the heel to the femoral region to substantially fit the curve of the leg. The two fabrics are each made of a stretchable material. It is possible to show the kneecap and cover from the ankle to the femoral region with moderate pressure strength by setting a recessed part 5 on the front knee part on each the first fabric 1 and the second fabric 2, widely forming both the upper and lower sides of the knee part to overlap each other in the front when attaching the supporter to the leg, attaching a raising blanket 3 to the whole surface of the forward face of the first fabric 1, attaching the velvet type fastener 4 to the forward back of the second fabric 2, and seizing the velvet type fastener 4 with the rising blanket 3. It is preferable to attach a stretchable tape 7 to the ankle in the cross direction and set an opening 6 on the heel. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
