Patent attributes
Pressure wraps include an elongated elastic strap and an adjustable loop formed in the elongated elastic strap. The elongated elastic strap is wrapped around a subject to form a plurality of loops, and provides selectively variable amounts of pressure depending on the amount of tension applied to the elongated elastic strap as the loops are formed around the subject. The size of the adjustable loop is configured to be selectively varied via an adjustment component. Pressure wraps may include a plurality of discrete regions of hooks compatible with the pile of the elongated elastic strap, which are configured to inhibit unintentional unwrapping during application. A securement is configured to secure the distal end of the elongated elastic strap to an intermediate portion of the strap, thereby securing the pressure wrap with respect to the subject. The securement may include a manipulatable fastener and/or an automatic fastener for securing the strap.
