A compression bandage intended to maintain the pressure originally applied, within preferred limits, is made from warp-knitted fabric (10, 11) incorporating a laid-in bare elastomeric yarn (12) which is at low or zero tension when the fabric is relaxed. The extensibility of the fabric is at least 175% and preferably 200%. The elastomeric yarn may be of natural or synthetic material and is laid into pillars (10), e.g. of crimped nylon yarn. The yarn (11) may be a flat, stretch or elastic yarn. <IMAGE> |
