Our new 4Dflexi fabric has many advantages over its conventional rival, Neoprene.
For many years clothing has been made from Polyester, so much so in fact, that our brain has learnt to ignore it. The ability to make bracing from fabric that the body sees as a second skin is invaluable, especially when bracing must be worn for extended periods during injury or through disability.
Benefits,
NON SWEAT airflow breath ability - no clamminess
Vents moisture - avoids body odour
Hypoallergenic bacteria inhibiting - skin friendly - less risk of irritation
Thermo regulates to warm without sweat - avoids overheating - reduces inflammation - provides a better healing environment
Equal in strength and compression to other orthopaedic supports
Avoids the risk of allergic reaction that Neoprene supports can sometimes cause
Ultra lightweight - does not block skin sensory nerves - our stimulus for healing
Non-toxic
Easy wash and fast dry
Our pioneering new lamination technique uses special rollers to bond a Velcro attractive velour to the surface of a woven knit 'spacer' - a process known as lamination.
Spacer fabrics are not new and are most commonly used in the making of bra's however, our spacer has an entirely different filament and does not collapse with compression. Even after lamination it remains stable and completely breathable.
