Abstract
A method for tailoring a compression garment including a first sheet and a second sheet, each having a first lateral end and a second lateral end, at least one strap for holding together the first lateral end of the first sheet and the first lateral end of the second sheet. The strap is tightenable to establish a compression level to a human limb or body part. The method includes: adjusting the strap; draping the compression garment around the limb or the body part; holding the second lateral end of the first sheet and the second lateral end of the second sheet together to pull the first sheet, the second sheet and the strap into contact with the limb or body part; marking a cutting line on one or both sheets; cutting the sheets along the cutting line; and splicing together both cut ends with at least one splicing element.
