- EdemaWear utilizes technology developed at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Fuzzy Wale Compression (FWC). Traditional compression garments are lymphatic tourniquets. FWC represents an enormous physiological advantage for users. Wales, fuzzy corduroy-like material, go up and down the extremity. Between the wales, Lycra® spandex elastic yarn provides compression. There is non-compressed skin between each wale with patent lymphatic vessels. Over time, the wales press into the skin creating a cornrow furrow. In each cornrow furrow, tissue compression is high enough to be physiologically useful. EdemaWear delivers compression via fuzzy longitudinal wales with transverse lycra elastic fibers. Our Physician researchers hypothesize that the areas of non-compressed skin between the longitudinal wales act as a zero pressure zone, which enhances lymphatic drainage from the skin furrows compressed under the wales.
- EdemaWear is used for the following conditions with dramatic response: Swelling (edema) of all types. Venous insufficiency, a condition where the veins of the lower extremity cannot return blood to the heart. Lymphedema, swelling resulting from dysfunction of lymph channels of the lower or upper extremity. Congestive heart failure, a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood forward effectively, leading to lower extremity edema. Skin protection, to protect at risk senile skin from bruising and shear injury (skin tear).
