Abstract:
1. A method of making-to-measure a medical compression/containment orthosis of the lower limb to fit a patient, the method comprising the following steps: obtaining an orthosis comprising heating the orthosis to a temperature that is not less than the activation temperature of the thermoformable yarn for a predetermined duration, the orthosis then being in a freely stretchable state; putting the orthosis onto the patient's leg; cooling the orthosis in situ on the patient's leg; and removing the orthosis in its finished state; the orthosis in its finished state presenting a containment proximal portion that has been made rigid by said activation, and having a shape and dimensions that fit the corresponding dimensions of the patient's calf, enabling said containment proximal portion to engage closely around the shape of the calf.
