Claim 13:
14. A compression garment production system, comprising:
a garment production apparatus;
an associated controller; and
a determination system for a tension value of a limb of a person, the tension value of the limb being used along with a skin value of the limb for production of a custom-tailored compression garment for the limb, the skin value describing a circumference of the limb without any applied compression and the tension value describing the circumference of the limb with the compression garment applying a desired compression, the determination system comprising:
an interface for receiving the skin value of the limb, and
a processor for calculating the tension value of the limb from the skin value according to a calculation instruction parametrized by at least one parameter, the parameter being derived by evaluation known data on skin measurement and associated tension values from a dataset stored in a storage means of the determination system and comprising multiple associated tuples of skin values and tension values, the skin values in the dataset describe the circumferences of the limb without any applied compression and the tension values in the dataset describe the circumferences of the limb with pressure applying the desired compression;
wherein the associated controller controls the garment production apparatus to produce the compression garment using the received skin value and the calculated tension value.
