About EdemaWear Compression Stockinette
EdemaWear utilizes innovative technology developed at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, featuring Fuzzy Wale Compression (FWC). Unlike traditional compression garments, which can act as lymphatic tourniquets, EdemaWear provides a physiological advantage by employing a unique design that enhances lymphatic drainage. The fuzzy corduroy-like wales compress the skin while leaving non-compressed zones, promoting effective lymphatic function and improving overall comfort for users.
Key Benefits & Features
- The innovative design includes fuzzy longitudinal wales paired with transverse Lycra spandex elastic fibers, delivering targeted compression while allowing for natural skin movement.
- The alternating non-compressed skin zones between the wales create "zero pressure zones," facilitating lymphatic drainage and reducing edema.
- Effective for various conditions, including: Swelling (edema) of all types, Venous insufficiency, Lymphedema, Congestive heart failure, & Skin protection for vulnerable skin.
- With proper care, EdemaWear can last approximately 4–6 months when worn daily, and even longer for non-ambulatory patients.
- Hand or machine wash in cold water and hang dry. Bloodstains can be removed with hydrogen peroxide.
- Designed to be worn directly against the skin for maximum effectiveness; can be worn under socks if desired.
