Edema Wear stockings are designed to help manage edema, which is 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 Edema Wear stockings 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 our Edema Wear elastic stocking for edema also allow for better ventilation, and they help prevent heat from trapping.
Compression plays a critical role in treating lymphedema and edema as 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 also helps improve blood circulation, prevent tissue hardening and skin damage, and reduce pain and discomfort.
The Edema Wear stockings are superior to other compression products in many respects. Top features of the Edema Wear stockings include:
Edema Wear stockings are more comfortable than other compression stockinettes and compression 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 body parts to help manage swelling and improve fluid drainage. Edema Wear is commonly used on:
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 helps improve 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 stockings also feel less restrictive.
You can gently hand wash Edema Wear or machine wash the stockinettes (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 stockinette.
Edema Wear stockings (EdemaWear) are also referred to as Edema Wear compression stockinettes, Edema Wear socks, and Edema Wear tubular stockinettes.
Edema Wear is the flagship product for Compression Dynamics, a medical products company which is based in the United States. Compression Dynamics has a strong emphasis on improving outcomes through better compression technology.
