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

An item of clothing for treating skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders, includes a tubular body with at least one relatively inelastic part having an inner layer defining an inner face of the inelastic part, the inner layer including a plurality of protruding spaced apart elements. A relatively elastic part extends from a first axial end to an opposite axial end of the tubular body and connects a first edge of the inelastic part to a second edge of the inelastic part. The item further includes: a flap which is relatively inelastic and has an inner layer defining an inner face of the flap, the inner layer including a plurality of protruding spaced apart elements, the flap being secured to at least part of the first edge of the inelastic part, and a device for reversibly attaching the flap to at least part of the second edge of the inelastic part.

Item of clothing for the treatment of skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders and sports recovery, comprising a tubular body

The invention relates to a tubular compressive orthosis having an upper edge defining a first knitted compression zone, and comprising, close to said upper edge, at least one grip element facilitating the process of putting on the orthosis. Characteristically, the grip element is a second knitted gripping zone arranged beneath the upper edge and having a mesh density higher than the mesh density of the first compression zone.
