PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve air permeability and moisture permeability while maintaining a wearing pressure required as stockings for treating lymphedema or the like.SOLUTION: The stocking for medical use is formed with at least a leg part using a stretchable knitted material knitted with weaving threads and insertion threads having stronger compressive force than the weaving threads. The wearing pressure is weakened stepwise in order of an ankle area 14 from the ankle to the lower end of the calf, a lower leg area 15 from the lower end of the calf to the knee, and a thigh area 16 from the knee to the groin. The ratio of the length of the weaving thread to the length of the insertion thread is set to (the length of the weaving thread):(the length of the insertion thread)=4.3-6.0:1 in the lower leg area, and (the length of the weaving thread):(the length of the insertion thread)=3.3-5.0:1 in the thigh area.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】リンパ浮腫等の治療用ストッキングとして必要な着圧を保ちつつ、通気性や透湿性も高める。【解決手段】地糸と、該地糸より強い圧縮力を有する挿入糸を用いて編成された伸縮性編地で、少なくともレッグ部を形成している医療用ストッキングであって、踝からふくらはぎ下端までの足首領域14、ふくらはぎ下端から膝までの下腿領域15、膝から脚の付け根までの大腿領域16の順に着圧が段階的に弱められ、前記地糸の糸長と前記挿入糸の糸長との比が、前記下腿領域で(地糸の糸長):(挿入糸の糸長)=4.3~6.0:1、前記大腿領域で(地糸の糸長):(挿入糸の糸長)=3.3~5.0:1とされている。【選択図】図1
