PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand compression garment in the area of medical industry, compression garments were used initially for patients with circulatory problems. External pressure was created by compression garments on the body surface which prevents blood clots, leg swelling and improves venous hemodynamics.Design/methodology/approachCompression rehabilitation is a significant element in the effective management of lower limb problems of people associated with venous, lymphatic, fat disorders like lipoedema.FindingsCompression garments have been attributed primarily for the increase in blood flow, improvement in recovery, reduction in muscle vibration that increase stability, improvement in thermoregulation, decrease in muscle pain, elimination of blood lactate and creatine kinase after exercise.Originality/valueCompression garments are extraordinary clothes that contain elastomeric yarns or fibers that are responsible for applying significant mechanical pressure on the required body surface for compressing, stabilizing and supporting underlying tissues.
The population explosion and the environmental pollution in recent years have forced researchers to find new health and hygiene related products for the well-being of mankind. In the past few decades, a wide range of medicinal and aromatic plants has been explored for their essential oils. Essential oils have great potential in the field of biomedicine as they effectively destroy several bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. In this study, the essential oils uptake and oil retention property on the textile surface were observed. The essential oils were applied at 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9% concentration on cotton/lycra, cotton/polyester/lycra and viscose/nylon/lycra double jersey knitted fabrics. The findings revealed that viscose/nylon/lycra absorbed as well as retained the maximum amount of essential oils
