Abstract
The orthosis comprises a compressive tubular portion (10) of knitted or woven fabric, of varying section that matches the profile of the lower limb, and in which the knit or weave structure is selected as a function of the peripheral dimensions of the lower limb so as to apply compression pressure of about 30 mmHg to 40 mmHg that is substantially constant along the length of the limb. The tubular portion extends from the foot to the top of the thigh and comprises a stretchable inner region (12) that is highly elastic and that is connected along two generator lines to an outer region (14) that is non-stretchable or poorly stretchable. The top end of the orthosis is also provided with a thigh sleeve (22) that is open along a generator line and that is provided with adjustable closure means (24).
