ADVANCED COMPRESSION GARMENTS AND SYSTEMS

摘要

Advanced compression garments and their methods of use, including garments with compression applying straps, and associated sensors that are able to sense the compression applied to an underlying body tissue by the straps. Pressure and/or temperature information from the sensors may be conveyed to a wearer of the garment and/or to another party.

主权项

1. An advanced compression garment for donning over the limb of a wearer, comprising:
an inner layer adapted to be in contact with the skin of the wearer; an outer compressive layer for applying pressure to the limb; and at least one sensor adapted to sense the magnitude of compression exerted on the limb by the outer compressive layer when the advanced compression garment is worn by the wearer.
