Abstract

Orthopedic stocking with a pocket for receiving an insert, characterized in that on the sole of the stocking (1) a further outer textile layer (2) is mounted, which by a running along the stocking, as often to be closed and to be solved closure means to a closed pocket under the stump sole (6) for receiving an insert (3) closed and can be opened at any time to remove the deposit.

Description

State of the art

Multilayer stockings with one or more pockets for insoles are known. However, the insole is regularly inserted into the pocket through a narrow opening or a type of slit, which may be on the bottom of the outsole, for example. EP 2 633 770 A1 ; US2009 / 0300823 A1 ). A simultaneous slip resistance of the stocking is not provided. Also missing is a reinforcement of the stocking in the area of the ankle and ankle.

Problems of this technique

The narrow opening makes it difficult to insert and remove the insert. This is especially true if the insert is to cover the entire sole of the foot. Also, the introduction of particularly thick or wide deposits should - if they can even be introduced into the narrow opening - prove to be particularly difficult.

It is also conceivable that the slot or the opening during insertion or removal of the insert ruptures or wears quickly, because before each wash, the insert must be removed from the narrow opening and laboriously inserted after each wash through the narrow opening. Even running can contribute to the wear of the slot or opening.

Since the stocking is not slip resistant, there is a risk of falling. An additional relief of the ankle and the ankle is not achieved for lack of a corresponding reinforcement of the stocking.

the solution of the problem

These problems are solved with the features listed in the claims.

The invention is an at least two-layer stocking, which is characterized in that the sole of the sock another outer textile layer is attached and by a running along the stocking zip or Velcro fastener or by appropriate snaps to a lying under the sock pocket for receiving an insert that can be reopened and closed at any time. The sole of the outer textile layer is provided with non-slip material, with nubs. Furthermore, the stocking is reinforced in the area of the ankle and ankle.

The idea of a zip or Velcro fastener or push buttons allows a comfortable, extended opening and closing of the bag. Inserts of different thickness and hardness, which vary according to the weight and anatomy of the stocking wearer, can be conveniently placed in the pocket and quickly and comfortably removed before each wash cycle. In particular, the insertion of deposits that cover the entire sole, thereby significantly simplified.

The problem of tearing or quickly wearing the narrow opening of the bag is solved by the comfortable stretch achieved by the use of zip fasteners or Velcro fasteners or snaps.

By the associated with the insert damping of the stocking, the load on the knee, especially immediately after a meniscus surgery, significantly reduced. This applies on the one hand to the operated knee, but in particular to the unoperated, healthy knee and the ankle and the ankle of the leg not affected by the operation; These are significantly more burdened as a result of the protection of the operated knee than usual and are significantly relieved by the associated with the insert damping of the stocking and the strengthening of the stump in the ankle and ankle. The knobs and the associated slip resistance of the stocking avoid that the stocking carrier slips and falls, which should be avoided if possible after an operation.

The stocking should only be worn in closed rooms without shoes.
