Abstract
A device for applying compression treatment to a part of a wearer's body has an inner face for being placed adjacent to the part of the wearer's body in use and an outer face opposite the inner face. The device includes a pressure applicator to apply compression to the wearer's body part when the device is placed on the wearer's body part. First and second fastener elements are mounted on the device. The second fastener element is adapted for releasably connecting to the first fastener element for use in holding the device on the wearer's body part.
A visual indicator associated with the second fastener element is adapted to show where to engage the first fastener element with the second fastener element. The visual indicator is adapted to wear upon repeated connection and disconnection of the first and second fastener elements so that the visual indicator fades over time.
A visual indicator associated with the second fastener element is adapted to show where to engage the first fastener element with the second fastener element. The visual indicator is adapted to wear upon repeated connection and disconnection of the first and second fastener elements so that the visual indicator fades over time.
Claims (20)
1. A device for applying compression treatment to a part of a wearer's body, the device having an inner face for being placed adjacent to the part of the wearer's body in use and an outer face opposite the inner face, the device comprising:
a pressure applicator to apply compression to the wearer's body part when the device is placed on the wearer's body part;
a first fastener element mounted on the device;
a second fastener element mounted on the device and adapted for releasably connecting to the first fastener element for use in holding the device on the wearer's body part, a visual indicator associated with the second fastener element adapted to show where to engage the first fastener element with the second fastener element, the visual indicator being adapted to wear upon repeated connection and disconnection of the first and second fastener elements so that the visual indicator fades over time.
a pressure applicator to apply compression to the wearer's body part when the device is placed on the wearer's body part;
a first fastener element mounted on the device;
a second fastener element mounted on the device and adapted for releasably connecting to the first fastener element for use in holding the device on the wearer's body part, a visual indicator associated with the second fastener element adapted to show where to engage the first fastener element with the second fastener element, the visual indicator being adapted to wear upon repeated connection and disconnection of the first and second fastener elements so that the visual indicator fades over time.
2. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the first fastener element comprises hook material, the second fastener element comprises loop material having a multiplicity of loops, and the visual indicator comprises colorant on at least a portion of the loop material, the colorant being disposed on the loops of the loop material to be less visible when loops are broken by repeated connection and disconnection of the first and second fastener elements.
3. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the hook material of the first fastener element is located on the inner face of the device and the loop material of the second fastener element is located on the outer face of the device.
4. A device as set forth in claim 3 wherein the visual indicator comprises a portion less than all of a total surface area of the second fastener element.
5. A device as set forth in claim 4 wherein the visual indicator is generally oblong in shape.
6. A device as set forth in claim 4 wherein the first fastener element comprises plural, spaced apart patches of hook material, and wherein the second fastener element comprises plural hook-engagement areas spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal axis of the device.
7. A device as set forth in claim 6 further comprising hook indicia on the outer face of the device generally overlying each of the hook components on the inner face of the device.
8. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the pressure applicator comprises an inflatable bladder sized and shaped to be at least partially wrapped around the part of the wearer's body.
9. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the first fastener element comprises hook material and the second fastener element comprises a perforated loop material.
10. Compression apparatus for applying cyclical compression to an appendage of the body for use in deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis, the compression apparatus comprising:

an inflatable bladder for being at least partially wrapped around the appendage;
a controller adapted for fluid connection to the bladder for cyclically inflating and deflating the bladder to selectively apply and remove compression from the appendage;
hook material including a multiplicity of hooks;
loop material including a multiplicity of loops having a first color and defining a colored hook-engagement area, the loops being engageable by the hooks of the hook material when the inflatable bladder is wrapped at least partially around the appendage for use in holding the inflatable bladder on the appendage, the loop material further including an other area separate from the hook-engagement area, the loops in the other area having a second color different from the first, the loops of the loop material having the first color being adapted to be broken by repeated connection and disconnection of the hook material with the loop material so that the first color of the hook-engagement area becomes less distinct from the second color.
11. Compression apparatus as set forth in claim 10 wherein the hook-engagement area comprises a portion less than all of a total surface area of the second fastener element.
12. Compression apparatus as set forth in claim 11 wherein the hook-engagement area is generally oblong in shape.
13. Compression apparatus as set forth in claim 11 comprising plural, spaced apart patches of hook material, and further comprising plural hook-engagement areas spaced apart from each other.
14. Compression apparatus as set forth in claim 13 further comprising hook indicia generally overlying respective ones of the patches of hook material.
15. Compression apparatus as set forth in claim 10 wherein the pressure applicator comprises an inflatable bladder sized and shaped to be at least partially wrapped around the appendage.
16. Compression apparatus as set forth in claim 10 wherein the loop material has perforations therein.
17. A method of making a compression device for use in applying compression to a part of a wearer's body, the method comprising:
providing a pressure applicator to apply a compression to the wearer's body part when the device is placed on the wearer's body part;
attaching hook material to the device;
coloring loop material in an area selected for attachment of the hook material to the loop material so that the coloring becomes less visible as the loop material and the hook material are repeatedly connected and disconnected;
attaching the loop material to the device in a location for selective engagement with the hook material for use in securing the compression device to the wearer's body part.
providing a pressure applicator to apply a compression to the wearer's body part when the device is placed on the wearer's body part;
