BOOT-SHAPED COMPRESSIVE ORTHOSIS FOR TREATING CIRCULATORY DISEASES IN THE LOWER LIMBS, AND PARTICULARLY FOR IMMOBILISING A LEG FOLLOWING A VENOUS ULCER

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.
