A postoperative garment for protection and improved healing of a wound, inju ry or disease site comprising a first panel and a second panel, the panels bein g constructed of a fabric structure comprising a blend of at least one polyest er fiber and at least one elastic fiber. The fabric has an elasticity of about 200-220 +/-10 % in both the warp direction and in the fill direction, the difference between the warp and fill direction elasticity preferably being n o more than about 3 % to about 5 %, a compression modulus of about 1 to about 4, and a breathability measurement of 70-100 % moisture loss within 30 minutes and an approximate skin surface temperature reduction of about 4-6 ~F within about 3-7 minutes as measured by evaporative cooling, and the panels being attachable to each other along one edge by a closure means, such as mated ho ok and loop fasteners. The improved universal compression characteristics, breathability and thermoregulation provide enhanced ability to promote heali ng and protect the wound site.
