Compressive leg orthosis for treating chronic venous insufficiency, has reinforced elastic part presenting relative non-uniform elasticity and permitting to exert non-uniform contention pressure on posterior side of calf

摘要

The orthosis (22) has successive rows of mesh threads with inclusion of an elastic weft thread. A reinforced elastic part (24) presents a non-uniform elasticity and permits to exert a non-uniform contention pressure on posterior side of a calf. The elastic part has a locally reduced deformability zone in a region of an antero-external shell, where the zone is inextensible.
