A compression article and method for its production on a knitting machine, in particular a flat-bed knitting machine, wherein, in the compression article, respectively the number of stitches per stitch row is matched to the radial circumference of the body part to be treated by the compression article, and which compression article has a plurality of points which are distributed over its circumference and at which, in a stitch row, a stitch increase and/or a stitch reduction is realized, and wherein, moreover, the number of stitches in the wale direction varies over the circumference of the compression article and is matched, in the longitudinal direction of the body part, to the shape of the body part to be treated.

Compression article

The present invention relates to compression garments comprising a knitted fabric, wherein the knitted fabric has three or more knitted gores in a proximal portion of the compression garment, and (i) each knitted gore extends circumferentially around 50% or more of the proximal portion; (ii) each knitted gore comprises from 1 to 10 points at which the number of courses is increased; and (iii) each knitted gore comprises from 1 to 10 points at which the number of courses is decreased.

Compression garment

A method of manufacturing a double-layer knitted fabric such as a compression article is provided. The method is performed on a knitting machine having at least two needle beds. The knitted fabric includes an outer layer made of a hydrophilic yarn on the first needle bed and an inner layer made of a hydrophobic yarn on the second needle bed. The method includes

Method to produce a double-layer knitted fabric

A compression article and method for its production on a flat-bed knitting machine are provided for providing an improved fit to a body part. In the compression article, respectively the number of stitches per stitch row is matched to the radial circumference of the body part to be treated by the compression article. The compression article has a plurality of points which are distributed over its circumference and at which, in a stitch row, at least one of a stitch increase and a stitch reduction is realized. The number of stitches in the wale direction varies over the circumference of the compression article and is matched, in the longitudinal direction of the body part, to the shape of the body part to be treated.

A compression article has an elastic base structure with an insert which is knitted double-ply and applies at least substantially a same compression pressure on a body of a wearer of an article as a base structure.
