Abstract

A compression wrap (100) includes an elongated wrap body (101) extending from a first end (102) to a distal end (103). A fastening tab (116) is coupled to a first major face (205) of the elongated wrap body at the first end. A fastening loop (118) is coupled to the first major face of the elongated wrap body at the distal end. A compression pad (106) is disposed along a second major face (105) of the elongated wrap body between the first end and the distal end. A stretchable layer (108) straddles the compression pad such that the stretchable layer and a portion (208) of the elongated wrap body comprising the compression pad define a stretchable sleeve (303).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A compression wrap, comprising:
an elongated wrap body extending from a first end to a distal end;
a fastening tab coupled to a first major face of the elongated wrap body at the first end;
a fastening loop coupled to the first major face of the elongated wrap body at the distal end;
a compression pad disposed along a second major face of the elongated wrap body between the first end and the distal end, the compression pad defining an ovular perimeter along the second major face of the elongated wrap body; and
a stretchable layer straddling the compression pad with a first stretchable layer end coupled to the second major face of the elongated wrap body to a first side of the compression pad and a second stretchable layer end coupled to the second major face of the elongated wrap body to a second side of the compression pad such that the stretchable layer and a portion of the elongated wrap body comprising the compression pad define a stretchable sleeve, the stretchable layer defining a width that is less than another width of the portion of the elongated wrap body comprising the compression pad.

2. The compression wrap of claim 1 , the stretchable sleeve disposed closer to the distal end than the first end.

3. The compression wrap of claim 2 , the portion of the elongated wrap body comprising the compression pad wider than another portion of the elongated wrap body disposed between the portion of the elongated wrap body comprising the compression pad and the fastening tab.

4. The compression wrap of claim 3 , the another portion of the elongated wrap insertable through the fastening loop.

5. The compression wrap of claim 4 , the first major face of the elongated wrap body foldable against itself allowing the fastening tab to engage one or more loops defined by the first major face of the elongated wrap body.

6. The compression wrap of claim 3 , the stretchable layer manufactured from a combination of neoprene and nylon.

7. The compression wrap of claim 1 , the fastening tab comprising a hook fastener.

8. The compression wrap of claim 7 , the first major face of the elongated wrap body comprising one or more loops engagable by the hook fastener.

9. The compression wrap of claim 1 , wherein the elongated wrap body and the stretchable layer are manufactured from a common material.

10. The compression wrap of claim 1 , wherein the elongated wrap body and the stretchable layer are manufactured from different materials.

11. The compression wrap of claim 1 , wherein the compression pad is manufactured from compressible foam.

12. A compression wrap, comprising:
an elongated wrap body extending from a first end to a distal end;
a fastening tab coupled to a first major face of the elongated wrap body at the first end;
a fastening loop coupled to the first major face of the elongated wrap body at the distal end;
a compression pad disposed along a second major face of the elongated wrap body between the first end and the distal end; and
a stretchable layer straddling the compression pad with a first stretchable layer end coupled to the second major face of the elongated wrap body to a first side of the compression pad and a second stretchable layer end coupled to the second major face of the elongated wrap body to a second side of the compression pad such that the stretchable layer and a portion of the elongated wrap body comprising the compression pad define a stretchable sleeve;
wherein the elongated wrap body and the stretchable layer are manufactured from different materials.

13. The compression wrap of claim 12 , the stretchable sleeve disposed closer to the distal end than the first end.

14. The compression wrap of claim 13 , the portion of the elongated wrap body comprising the compression pad wider than another portion of the elongated wrap body disposed between the portion of the elongated wrap body comprising the compression pad and the fastening tab.

15. The compression wrap of claim 14 , the stretchable layer manufactured from a combination of neoprene and nylon.

16. The compression wrap of claim 15 , the another portion of the elongated wrap insertable through the fastening loop, the first major face of the elongated wrap body foldable against itself allowing the fastening tab to engage one or more loops defined by the first major face of the elongated wrap body.

17. The compression wrap of claim 12 , the compression pad defining an ovular perimeter along the second major face of the elongated wrap body.

18. The compression wrap of claim 12 , the stretchable layer defining a width that is less than another width of the portion of the elongated wrap body comprising the compression pad.

19. The compression wrap of claim 12 , the fastening tab comprising a hook fastener, the first major face of the elongated wrap body comprising one or more loops engagable by the hook fastener.

20. The compression wrap of claim 12 , wherein the compression pad is manufactured from compressible foam.
