EdemaWear tubular stockinettes 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, EdemaWear tubular stockinettes provide 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, EdemaWear tubular stockinettes deliver longitudinal compression via the fuzzy wale and Lycra corduroy-like elastic fiber material which the stockinettes are made from. By wearing EdemaWear, 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 EdemaWear tubular stockinettes help ‘melt’ away swelling in the extremities.

EdemaWear stockinettes are designed to help manage edema – the swelling caused by excess fluid getting trapped in the tissues of the body. EdemaWear 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 EdemaWear, 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 EdemaWear 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.
EdemaWear compression stockinettes are superior to other compression products in many respects. Top features of the stockinettes include:
EdemaWear stockinettes 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 EdemaWear stockinettes 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.
EdemaWear stockinettes can be used on various parts of your body to help manage swelling and improve fluid drainage. EdemaWear is commonly used on:
The main difference between EdemaWear and traditional compression stockings lies in the Fuzzy Wale technology. The unique raised ridges that are built into EdemaWear provide a gentler, more dynamic compression that improves fluid drainage and air flow. EdemaWear stockinettes 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. EdemaWear also feels less restrictive.
You can hand wash EdemaWear or machine wash the stockinettes (in a mesh laundry bag, on delicate cycle). Avoid harsh detergents, and be sure to thoroughly rinse EdemaWear if you hand wash it. Air dry your EdemaWear 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.
EdemaWear stockinettes are also referred to as EdemaWear stockings, EdemaWear socks, EdemaWear compression stockinettes, and EdemaWear tubular stockinettes.
EdemaWear 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.
