    Introduction: Elastic compression garments are used for treating many clinical conditions. When used after plastic surgeries, problems such as irregular body compression due to different biotypes are observed. If associated with containment foam, the possibility of displacement of the parts, the impossibility of adjusting the compression and the laborious positioning the foam can be observed. Given these drawbacks, there is room for the development of new compression devices. Objective: To develop a body compression velcro wrap. Methods: The development of the invention was based on the Design Thinking methodology, divided into four phases: Discover, Define, Develop and Deliver. In the “Discover” phase, desk research and interviews with patients and plastic surgeons were conducted. A patentability search was conducted in national (INPI / BR) and international (Espacenet, WIPO, USPTO, SIPO and JPO) databases, as well as PatBase software; in the “Define” phase, the problems to be solved were determined; In the Develop phase, brainstorming sessions were conducted to determine the characteristics of the device; and in the “Deliver” phase, the industrial design and cost evaluation were made. Results: 9 patents with different characteristics were found in the search. The design process resulted in a Neoprene device consisting of 4 leaflets with multiple adjustable wraps and adhered by velcro to an elastic garment, plus a belt for connecting upper and lower pieces. Industrial designs were made and production costs determined. Conclusion: A body compression with adjustable velcro wrap with interlaced bandages was developed.
