Textile-based compression materials include elastic bandages, stockings, and garments that are designed to exert external pressure to the human body. The main product performance is the force-elongation behavior, which is related to the fabric structure, yam composition, and fiber type. For elastic compression materials. 

In addition to the physical and mechanical properties, ecological safety and good wear comfort are important for patient acceptance and the desired success of therapy. In practice, compression bandages made of a large variety of materials are applied on patients in many different clinical circumstances, and a carefiil selection of appropriate products is needed before the application of bandages or stockings on patients.
