MEDICAL COMPRESSION GARMENT AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING A MEDICAL COMPRESSION GARMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a medical compression garment having means for measuring compression (12, 13; 19), that comprises marks (12) spaced at intervals and arranged on a surface line (13) of the garment (11), wherein each of said marks (12) consists of at least three elements (17). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for evaluating such a medical compression garment that comprises the steps of donning the medical compression garment (11) on a limb, determining the circumferential extension (εC), the longitudinal extension (εL), and the twist distortion (ϑZ) of said garment (11), and comparing the determined circumferential extension (εC), the determined longitudinal extension (εL), and the determined twist distortion (ϑZ) to a predefined circumferential extension, a predefined longitudinal extension and a predefined twist distortion. The invention can be used to check if a medical compression garment is donned correctly.
