ABSTRACT:
A stocking for use in positioning a pulsatile bladder about a portion of a user's body is described. The stocking is desirably circularly knit to have an inner sleeve, and an outer sleeve extending concentrically over the inner sleeve. The inner sleeve desirably is knit to provide a graduated degree of compression along the underlying portion of a person's body when the stocking is positioned on a wearer's limb. The outer sleeve is preferably relatively less elastic than the inner sleeve, so as to prevent a bladder positioned within the stocking from pressing uncomfortably into a wearer's flesh. The outer sleeve also desirably includes first and second spaced-apart openings, one for bladder insertion and the other for allowing the exit of tubing typically associated with pulsatile bladders. The stocking is preferably integrally knit on a circular knitting machine such that it comes off of the machine in finished form.
