Claim 14:
15. An attachment device defining first and second surfaces, and further defining first and second ends to a length of the attachment device, the attachment device comprising:
an elongate section having first and second portions defined along the length of the attachment device, the second portion defining the second end of the attachment device;
a head section extending from the first portion of the elongate section, the head section defining the first end of the attachment device;
a flap connected to and extending from the second portion of the elongate section at a junction along the elongate section, the flap having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the flap having a second end coextensive with the second end of the attachment device and the second portion of the elongate section;
a traction element protruding from the first surface of the attachment device and disposed about and within a periphery of the head section along the first surface, the traction element forming a raised profile extending outwardly from the first surface;
wherein a first material extends along a length of the first surface of the attachment device, the first surface extending along both the head section and the elongate section to the junction, the first material extending along the first surface of the flap;
wherein a second material extends along a length of the second surface of the attachment device, the second surface extending along the length defined between the first and second ends of the attachment device along the head section and the elongate section;
wherein the traction element is formed from a polymeric material, and the head section, the flap, and the elongate section are formed from a textile;
wherein a connection between the traction element and the head section consists of the polymeric material of the traction element interlocking with the textile forming the first surface of the head section;
wherein the raised profile forms a depression arranged for leading a finger to grasp the traction element at a predetermined location.
