Abstract:
1. A method of making a compression device having a pressure applicator for applying a compression to a wearer's body part when the device is placed on the wearer's body, and hook material attached to the device, the method comprising applying a colorant having a first color to a portion of a loop material having a second color that is different than the first color, the step of applying colorant including applying colorant in an engagement area of the loop material that is less than an entire surface area of the loop material, the engagement area positioned to align the compression device properly on the wearer's body part when the hook material is engaged with the loop material in the engagement area, the step of applying colorant further comprising applying colorant to loops of the loop material in the engagement area so that repeated connection and disconnection of the hook material with the loop material in the engagement area causes loops having the first color of the colorant thereon to break so that the second color of the loop material is revealed by breakage of loops of the loop material having the colorant applied thereto.
