Patent ID: 11832659

Abstract:
A garment for treating (heating/cooling/compressing) one or more regions of a wearer's body includes a primary layer, particularly located layer/layers of higher compression materials, and a liner creating a pocket. An interior surface of the primary layer, an elastic, applies a first level of compression to a portion of the wearer's body, including the treatment region(s). The layer(s) of higher compression material(s) on the interior surface of the primary layer overlay and extend beyond the treatment region(s), applying a second, higher level of compression. The primary layer has an opening adjacent to the higher compression material(s). A first peripheral portion of the liner is secured to the interior of the primary layer and extends over the opening, with a second peripheral portion extending over only a portion of a periphery of the higher compression material(s), being secured thereto to form a gonfalon-shaped pocket that receives a correspondingly shaped heat/cold pack.
