Edema Wear Compression Stockings

Edema Wear Elastic Stocking For Edema - Edema Wear Stockings For Lymphedema

(Due to health and safety concerns, if opened, the Edema Wear socks may not be returned.)

Edema Wear stockings are the new way to comfortably enhance the lymphatic function leading to a decrease in painful inflammation at the skin level. Unlike traditional non-compressive stockinettes, the Edema Wear elastic stocking for edema provides light 15mm - 20mm Hg external compression similar to a tubular elastic bandage. Utilizing the new Fuzzy Wale Compression (FWC) technology developed at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Edema Wear socks deliver longitudinal compression via the fuzzy wale and Lycra corduroy-like elastic fiber material which the stockinettes are made from. By wearing Edema Wear, the soft and fuzzy wales will over time, gently press into the skin creating a ‘cornrow’ furrow. The areas of noncompressed skin between the furrows act as a zero pressure zone, which enhances lymphatic drainage from the compressed tissue in the furrows. Easy to apply and comfortable to wear, the latex-free Edema Wear stockings help ‘melt’ away swelling in the extremities.

FAQs About Edema Wear Stockings For Lymphedema / Edema Wear Elastic Stocking For Edema

Edema Wear stockings are one of the most effective compression stockings available, thanks to a unique “fuzzy” fabric technology that provides gentle, dynamic compression.

Below are frequently asked questions about Edema Wear stockings.

Edema Wear stockings are designed to help manage edema – the swelling caused by excess fluid getting trapped in the tissues of the body. Edema Wear is often used as an alternative to traditional compression stockings or bandages, because the stockinettes provide consistent, moderate compression without squeezing too tightly.

Unique to Edema Wear, the Fuzzy Wale Elastic Compression (FWEC) is a proprietary fabric technology that creates small channels or spaces on the skin, which allows fluid to move more effectively through the lymphatic system. The wales (ribbed pattern) in Edema Wear also allow for better ventilation, and they help prevent heat from trapping.

Compression plays a critical role in treating lymphedema and edema, because it helps promote fluid movement and prevent fluid accumulation (which leads to swelling). The gentle pressure that compression applies to the tissues stimulates your lymphatic vessels to move fluid out of the swollen area and into the circulatory system. Compression can also help improve blood circulation, prevent tissue hardening and skin damage, and reduce pain and discomfort.

Edema Wear stockings are superior to other compression products in many respects. Top features of the EdemaWear compression stockinette include:
• • easy to put on and take off
• • provide gentle compression
• • more breathable
• • less restrictive
• • snug, yet flexible fit (adapts to your movements)
• • reduced heat retention
• • better ventilation
• • less skin irritation

Edema Wear stockings are more comfortable than other compression garments and bandages because of the Fuzzy Wale technology (the soft, raised “fuzzy” ridges that are on the inside of the stockinettes). These wales make the Edema Wear stockings feel cooler and more breathable. The Fuzzy Wales also apply a more gentle and focused pressure, which reduces the feeling of tightness. Because the Fuzzy Wales help distribute pressure more evenly, you are also less likely to experience painful pressure points or the discomfort that is commonly associated with traditional compression garments and bandaging.

Edema Wear stockings can be used on various parts of your body to help manage swelling and improve fluid drainage. Edema Wear is commonly used on:
• • legs
• • knees
• • feet and ankles
• • arms
• • hands

The main difference between Edema Wear and traditional compression stockings lies in the Fuzzy Wale technology. The unique raised ridges that are built into Edema Wear provide a gentler, more dynamic compression that improves fluid drainage and air flow. Edema Wear stockings are more breathable and comfortable to wear. They are easier to put on and take off and are less likely to cause discomfort and skin irritation, and especially for long-term wear. Edema Wear also feels less restrictive.

You can hand wash Edema Wear or machine wash the EdemaWear compression stockinette (in a mesh laundry bag, on delicate cycle). Avoid harsh detergents, and be sure to thoroughly rinse Edema Wear if you hand wash it. Air dry your Edema Wear by laying it flat or hanging it. Avoid direct sunlight, because UV rays can damage the material over time. If you see any signs of wear (such as fraying or stretched-out areas), you will need to replace the garment.

Edema Wear stockings (EdemaWear) are also referred to as Edema Wear socks, EdemaWear compression stockinette, and Edema Wear tubular stockinettes.

Edema Wear is the flagship product for Compression Dynamics, a medical products company that is based in the United States. Compression Dynamics has a strong emphasis on improving outcomes through better compression technology.
