A chip sleeve garment including an outer layer of fabric connected to an inner layer of fabric to form a sleeve with a space between the outer layer of fabric and the inner layer of fabric. Foam chips, flat foam, or foam with ridges are disposed in the space between the outer layer of fabric and the inner layer of fabric. The garment includes two ends, including at least one open end, and a notch in at least one open end having an opening. The notch can be separated to create a larger opening than the opening to allow the garment to be donned or doffed easier than the opening allows. A second garment can be disposed over the chip sleeve garment. Either the chip sleeve garment, the second garment, or both can be compression garments.

Foam sleeve garment with easy access feature

A method and system for tailoring a compression garment having a first lateral end and a second lateral end. A first tension tab releasably attachable to the compression garment; wherein the first tension tab includes at least a first indicator and a second indicator on an outer surface. The first tension tab being attachable to the compression garment and the first strap being attachable onto the compression garment adjacent or over at least a portion of the first tension tab with a first strap covering a first part of the first tension tab and terminating at a first strap end that exposes a second portion of the first tension tab. A first tension tab setting indicates whether the end of the first strap terminates adjacent or over the first indicator or the second indicator of the first tension tab.

Method for tailoring a compression garment

A method for tailoring a compression garment including a first sheet and a second sheet, each having a first lateral end and a second lateral end, at least one strap for holding together the first lateral end of the first sheet and the first lateral end of the second sheet. The strap is tightenable to establish a compression level to a human limb or body part. The method includes: adjusting the strap; draping the compression garment around the limb or the body part; holding the second lateral end of the first sheet and the second lateral end of the second sheet together to pull the first sheet, the second sheet and the strap into contact with the limb or body part; marking a cutting line on one or both sheets; cutting the sheets along the cutting line; and splicing together both cut ends with at least one splicing element.
