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

About EdemaWear Thigh High Compression Stocking
EdemaWear tubular stockinettes offer an innovative solution for improving lymphatic function and reducing inflammation at the skin level. Unlike traditional non-compressive options, these stockinettes provide gentle external compression of 15-20 mmHg, similar to a tubular elastic bandage. Developed with Fuzzy Wale Compression (FWC) technology by the University of Nebraska Medical Center, EdemaWear uses a unique corduroy-like elastic fiber material to deliver longitudinal compression. This design creates a “cornrow” furrow effect, allowing areas of non-compressed skin to act as zero-pressure zones, promoting effective lymphatic drainage. Latex-free, easy to apply, and comfortable to wear, these stockinettes are highly effective in reducing swelling in the extremities.

Key Benefits & Features

Customizable Fit: Can be cut to the desired length and worn directly on edematous extremities.
Versatile Use: Can be worn alone or layered under short stretch compression bandages.
Wide Range of Applications: Ideal for managing conditions such as edema, venous insufficiency, lymphedema, congestive heart failure, and for protecting at-risk skin.

EdemaWear Thigh High Compression Stocking FAQs

Is EdemaWear comfortable to wear?
Yes, EdemaWear is crafted from soft, medical-grade Lycra Spandex and Nylon, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. Many users report a soothing sensation while wearing it, as it enhances lymphatic function and reduces inflammatory discomfort.

How does EdemaWear perform in hot weather?
EdemaWear is designed to stay cool in warmer climates. The spaces between the fuzzy wales allow airflow and promote perspiration evaporation, helping to keep you comfortable even in hot weather.

What types of swelling does EdemaWear control?
EdemaWear effectively manages various types of swelling, including lymphedema, post-surgical edema (e.g., after lymph node removal), and swelling due to conditions like congestive heart failure. It also alleviates inflamed skin associated with venous insufficiency.

What is Fuzzy Wale Compression (FWC)?
FWC is a specialized textile technology that features fuzzy wales, creating gentle compression zones. These wales provide effective tissue compression while leaving areas of non-compressed skin to enhance lymphatic drainage, improving overall effectiveness.

How does EdemaWear aid in wound healing?
EdemaWear promotes healing in both surgical and traumatic wounds on the extremities. Its compression improves blood flow, aiding tissue repair and accelerating the absorption of bruises.

Can EdemaWear help with dermatitis?
Yes, EdemaWear is effective for treating venous stasis dermatitis. Its targeted compression improves blood flow, which helps heal skin affected by poor circulation.

Is EdemaWear latex-free?
Absolutely. EdemaWear is made entirely from latex-free materials, making it safe for individuals with latex sensitivities or allergies.

What are the long-term benefits of using EdemaWear?
Long-term use of EdemaWear can enhance lymphatic function, reduce swelling, and improve skin health. It can also enhance the cosmetic appearance of skin grafts and alleviate symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency. Many users experience significant reductions in lower extremity swelling and discomfort with consistent use.
