Embodiment Construction

[0027] 1 and 2 illustrate a knee bandage 20 made of orthopedic material in accordance with the principles of the present invention. Orthopedic materials are shown in image 3 , 4 and 5. knee bandage is made of image 3 , 4 and 5 are fabricated from a flexible elastic composite material 100 in a flat shape. The flat shaped composite material is cut to shape and sewn or otherwise assembled into the tubular knee bandage 20 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 .

[0028] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a sheet of composite material 100 in the shape of a flat sheet is folded in half on itself. The overlapping long edges on opposite sides of the fold are secured with standing long seams 50 . The flat sheet of material is cut to shape so that when sewn along seam 50 as shown in FIGS. A perimeter seam 80 at the upper edge and a similar perimeter seam 90 at the bottom edge provide the final edge for the finished knee brace.

[0029] The components that make up the composite material 100 can be f...

Abstract

The present invention provides a composite material for use in the manufacture of orthopedic elastic bandages for supporting body parts by means of compression. The composite material has a central layer (110), an inner layer (130) and an outer layer (120). The central layer has a set of grooves (100) on one side thereof which intersect to define a grid pattern and function as channels along the width and length of the central layer to facilitate heat and moisture dissipation from the supported body part. A set of cuts (150) extend through the entire depth of the center layer, and are distributed across the surface area of ​​the center layer, while still maintaining sufficient elasticity and density to provide adequate compressive support. In one embodiment of the invention, the central layer has a set of arcuate slits (250) defining a tab portion (255) still hingedly connected to the central layer.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates generally to orthopedic support and, more particularly, to composite materials for forming elastic compression bandages having improved compressive support, body temperature retention, and breathability in use. Background technique [0002] Elastic compression bandages can be made in many forms. Usually such bandages are made of a soft, elastic material so that they provide some amount of support to the damaged joint when worn. Bandages of this type are often available over-the-counter or require no specialty fittings for the skilled practitioner, they have been used for years, and are often available as a bandage on the knee, ankle, thigh, wrist, elbow, chest, or lower back. These stretchy flexible compression bandages can be used to treat sprains and strains, arthritis, aponeuritis, bursitis, various inflammatory conditions or to relieve post-surgical discomfort or treat post-traumatic discomfort. [0003] Elastic compression...
