Compression Dynamics
EdemaWear® Compression Stockinette, Large
- Size - Large; Length - 24 inches / Circumference - up to 46 inches
- EdemaWear stockinet utilizes a new textile technology, Fuzzy Wale Elastic Compression (FWC)
- Wales (fuzzy corduroy-like material) create a fuzzy nexus with the skin to deliver effective compression of the subcutaneous fat and to move water back to the heart
- Between the wales, medical Lycra spandex elastic yarn provides compression
- There is non-compressed skin between each wale with patent lymphatic vessels
- Over time, the wales impresses into the skin creating a "cornrow" furrow
- In each cornrow furrow, tissue compression is high enough to be physiologically useful
