| 20080277432 | ASSIST DEVICE FOR DOFFING STOCKINGS - In order to ensure easy handling as well as cost-effective production of an assist device for doffing stockings, in particular compression stockings, it is proposed to configure the assist device with two rod-shaped sliding elements, where a front end of each rod-shaped sliding elements is connected to a top circular border of the stocking at diametrically opposite positions in a form-fitting and force-fitting manner, and where the stocking can be rolled off and/or slid off the leg and/or foot by sliding the sliding elements in the direction of the foot and over the foot. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090218377 | Medical Sock - A medical sock that is designed to aid in the placement of anti-embolism hosiery or thromboembolism stockings. The medical sock includes an oval foot covering produced from polyethylene that resembles a slipper or sock. The medical sock also includes slits within its sides to position it atop the foot, heel, and a portion of the lower leg. Once properly positioned, the medical sock provides a smooth surface over which the tight compression hosiery could be placed for ease in positioning. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090272772 | Health Care System - The present invention relates to a health care system comprised of a sock aide, a reacher and a shoe horn. The sock aide is removably coupled to the reacher by the engagement of a T-shaped arm on outer surface of the sock aide with a sleeve disposed on one end of the reacher. The sleeves are provided on opposite sides of the reacher to allow the donning of a sock to either the left or right foot. The shoe horn is slidably mounted on the reacher. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100270341 | Aid for Pulling Elastic Stockings On and Off - The invention relates to an aid for pulling elastic stockings on and off. The aid comprises a flexible, tube-like peripheral body of a smooth material with an insertion end for a foot. The peripheral body is provided with a lining of a smooth material which is attached to the peripheral body at the position of the insertion end and can otherwise be moved freely relative to the peripheral body from an inward folded position, in which the lining is situated in the peripheral body, to an outward folded position in which the lining is situated outside the peripheral body. The peripheral body further comprises tensioning means with which the aid can be secured at least temporarily round a leg. This makes the aid suitable for both pulling on and pulling off elastic stockings. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110042425 | Donning Assist Device For Stockings and Other Compression Garments - An extremity garment donning assist device, includes a rigid structure that, in one embodiment, contains no handles or other extending members. The device has an open cylindrical configuration that is well suited to placing compression garments on a user or patient. For instance, the device is well suited to placing a stocking on the foot of a wearer. When using the device, a compression garment is turned partially inside out over a top edge of the device forming an outstretched opening. A user then inserts one's foot into the outstretched opening. In a pivoting motion, the foot is then pushed down through the device causing the compression garment to at least partially or entirely release from the device for placement on a person's foot and leg. In order to assist in the pivoting motion, the garment donning assist device can include a flattened area, an indentation and/or an anti-skid member. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110049201 | HOSIERY DONNING DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR FOR COMPRESSION HOSIERY - A hosiery donning device, in particular for compression hosiery, has a support, a front end portion of which is inserted into the hosiery to be donned; the support defines a downwardly-facing cavity so that a foot can be inserted into the sock or stocking by making the support slide over the upper surface and instep of the foot; a handle is joined to the rear of the support, it is fixed and faces upwards in relation to the support; the cavity is defined by a saddle-shaped portion, on which at least a portion of the hosiery is gathered; the saddle-shaped portion accompanies a portion of the hosiery over the heel of the foot, when the handle is tilted forwards while the saddle-shaped portion remains in contact with the instep of the foot. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110101046 | SELF-OPERATED DEVICE FOR THE DISABLED FOR PUTTING ON STOCKINGS OR SOCKS AND SIMILAR GARMENTS - The device allows individuals suffering from a reduced physical mobility to easily put on socks (C) and stockings, previously inserted onto a special widener ( | 05-05-2011 |
| 20120061427 | Aid for Pulling On and Off Compression Stockings - The invention refers to an aid for pulling on and/or off stockings comprising a stocking retainer. The stocking, in particular a compression stocking, is at least temporarily during the process of putting on or off the stocking at least partially stretched over the stocking retainer. The aid for pulling on and/or off stockings comprises a pivot-mounted clamping element rotatable about a rotational axis. The clamping element comprises a clamping region for fastening the stocking put over the stocking retainer in respect to a counter pressure region of the aid for pulling on and/or off stockings. The aid for pulling on and/or off stockings comprises longitudinal rods to which the stocking retainer is attached. The clamping element is rotatable in respect to the rotational axis. The radius between the rotational axis is greater than the distance between the rotational axis and the counter pressure region of the aid for pulling on and/or off stockings so that with the clamping region of the clamping element lying against the counter pressure region a part of the stocking located in between is clamped. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20150136815 | Compression Sock Aid - Disclosed is a compression sock aid device having a left and right double paneled structure hingedly connected to one another, wherein a spring member provides outward bias to facilitate opening of the device and the spreading of sock material placed thereover. Rope handles with gripping portions and associated hook notch closure means are provided, along with friction pads and thumb grips to facilitate the application of compression stockings and tight fitting hosiery onto the leg of the wearer. The hosiery is placed over the device while the spring member and hinged connection enable the opening of the hosiery placed thereon. The device is secured using the rope handle that includes a fastening ball, wherein the rope handle is placed into an opposing hook notch to resist the outward bias of the spring member. The inner panels support the hosiery away from the user's skin while the inner panels slide thereagainst. | 05-21-2015 |
| 20150136816 | Hosiery Assistance Apparatus - The present invention is an article for donning and removing hosiery whereby said article has a sock holding assembly arranged at an end distal from a user that holds a sock in an open position for donning and a grasper for removing a sock from upon a user. | 05-21-2015 |
