EdemaWear Compression Stockinette

EdemaWear features cutting-edge technology developed at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, incorporating Fuzzy Wale Compression (FWC). Unlike traditional compression garments that may act as lymphatic tourniquets, EdemaWear uses a unique design that enhances lymphatic drainage while maintaining comfort. The fuzzy, corduroy-like wales apply compression to the skin while leaving alternating non-compressed zones, supporting effective lymphatic function.

Key Benefits & Features:

• Innovative Design: Fuzzy longitudinal wales combined with transverse Lycra spandex fibers provide targeted compression and allow natural skin movement.
• Zero Pressure Zones: The non-compressed zones between the wales create “zero pressure areas” that facilitate lymphatic drainage and reduce edema.
• Versatile Use: Effective for a range of conditions, including:
  • Swelling (edema) of all types
  • Venous insufficiency
  • Lymphedema
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Skin protection for vulnerable skin
• Long-lasting: With proper care, EdemaWear lasts 4–6 months with daily use, or even longer for non-ambulatory patients.
• Care Instructions: Wash by hand or machine in cold water and hang dry. Bloodstains can be removed with hydrogen peroxide.
• Comfortable Fit: Designed for direct wear against the skin for maximum effectiveness. It can also be worn under socks if desired.
