CORRECTING AND ALINGING ARTICLES OF SOCK-TYPE USED IN TREATING CIRCULATOR DISEASES IN LOWER LIMBS, ESPECIALLY TO ENSURE CLINGING COMPRESSION SUPPORT FOR VARICOSE LEGS

摘要

The orthosis (1) is designed to apply degressive compression to all or part of the leg starting from the ankle. The orthosis has a knitted compressive tubular portion (2) of varying section formed by a leg portion of an elastic stocking that does not have a foot or a heel, said compressive-tubular portion being extended at its bottom end by a knitted non-compressive tubular portion (3) suitable for covering at least a portion of the foot, without compressing it, and made for example using a stitch of the plain moss type.
