A tubular compression item having at least one leg part, one foot tip, one heel, one foot and one ribbed edge in the extension of the leg part delimiting an opening for introducing a foot into the item, is provided. The leg part has a height extending from the foot part up to the ribbed edge, and the leg part, the foot and the ribbed edge of the tubular compression item each comprise at least one knitting yarn. An elastic weft yarn is inserted between the stitches on the outer face and the stitches on the inner face of the leg part. The elastic weft yarn is inserted on at least 90% of the columns of stitches without forming any tuck stitch or loop stitch. The elastic weft yarn is maintained between two consecutive rows of stitches in the leg part. The foot tip and the heel each comprise at least one knitting yarn.

Method for producing a tubular compression item, and item thereby obtained

The object of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a tubular compression item, having at least one leg part, one foot tip, one heel and one foot, comprising a first step for knitting the leg part and the foot with at least one knitting yarn on a double cylinder knitting machine during which an elastic weft yarn is inserted between two rows of ribbed stitches (n)*(p) and (n')*(p&#x2032;) every 1/1 to 1/5 rows of stitches of the leg part and of the foot, on at least 50% by number of the number (m) of needles without forming any tuck stitch or loop stitch.
