ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a remedial support appliance for medical use, comprising an elasticated knit main portion for compressing a leg or an arm in order to treat venous or lymphatic insufficiency. According to the invention, the main portion is extended upwards by an elasticated garter band constituted by an elasticated lace or braid covered on the inside with a pattern made of an antislip material, the fibers constituting the braid or the lace of said band being selected in such a manner that the band presents an elongation characteristic of shallow slope and simultaneously exerts pressure on the limb concerned that is less than the pressure exerted thereon by the main portion of the appliance in the vicinity of said band.
