Compression is an effective means of increasing blood flow to the desired site within the body.
What are the Benefits
of Compression
Reducing Swelling:
Inflammation and swelling are not only uncomfortable, but they can also inhibit the healing process. Compression increases pressure at the site of swelling and encourages fluid to flow from the swollen, high-pressure area to the unaffected low-pressure area.
Increasing Nutrient Delivery:
Active compression helps stimulate the flow of lymph fluid, which carries vital nutrients to the damaged tissues surrounding the injury. Lymph fluid is also important for removing waste from cells and body tissues, an important function during the tissue regeneration process.
Increasing Oxygen Delivery:
Injured tissue requires oxygen for it to repair itself. However, swelling can inhibit the flow of blood to an injury, slowing down the healing process. Active compression helps improve blood flow, thereby enhancing the delivery of oxygen to damaged tissue.
Improving the Rate of Tissue Repair:
The combination of reduced swelling and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the injury site enables more rapid tissue repair and an overall faster healing process.
Further Benefits:
Supports pain management, helps reduce inflammation, speeds up recovery from bruising, enhances blood flow, allows support with a full range of motion, supports and prevents joint injury.
Performance Athletes
With an optimal level of consistent compression, the walls of the arteries will dilate which increases blood flow. The greater the blood flow, the better the oxygen and nutrient delivery and the better the performance of the muscles.

Everyday Health + Fitness
Compression technology can help those who are prone to swelling or who face occupational challenges that lead to swelling by reducing their propensity to swell.

Recovery
Wearing compression technology after intense exercise or competition can help speed up recovery and reduce your perception of overly sore muscles.

Diabetes
Many of the effects of diabetes stem from the same guilty parties; high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a lack of blood glucose control.

“With an optimal level of consistent compression, the walls of the arteries will dilate, increasing the blood flow through them. The greater the blood flow, the better the oxygen and nutrient delivery and the better the performance of the heart”
Active compression helps stimulate the flow of lymph fluid, which carries vital nutrients to the damaged tissues surrounding the injury. Lymph fluid is also important for removing waste from cells and body tissues, an important function during the tissue regeneration process.
Diabetes can cause swollen and damaged arteries, which in turn can inhibit blood flow. Active compression helps improve blood flow, thereby enhancing the delivery of oxygen throughout the body.
Diabetic foot ulcers are experienced by approximately 15 percent of patients. Of those who develop a foot ulcer, 6 percent will be hospitalized due to infection or other ulcer-related complication. The combination of reduced swelling and increased delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the site of an ulcer enables more rapid tissue repair and an overall faster healing process.
