What is ISKO™ RHEACT™
How does ISKO™ RHEACT™ work?
How does graduated compression work?
Graduated compression improves venous flow, i.e. blood circulation in the veins. Artefit compression garments exert a gentle squeeze which is graduated because the pressure starts first at the ankle (100%) and then gradually decreases as it moves further up the leg. This stimulates the removal of lactic acids (which can cause muscle cramps) from the blood and improves blood circulation, helping to increase energy and speeding up recovery.
How does woven technology and compression work together?
The compression woven fabric applies graduated compression at the right place on the limbs, in line with the gravitational forces of the body’s blood flow, helping to push blood back into the deep veins, and back towards the heart, improving venous flow in the blood circulatory system.
Woven technology vs knitting technology
When we compared woven and knitted fabrics, we found that bi-stretch woven fabrics possessed better compression properties before and after washes and retain their durability after repeated use, whereas knitted stretchable fabrics lost their compression ability after repeated use. Compression garments create a micro massaging effect with pressure peaks. The Dynamic Stiffness Index (DSI) is a measure of these pressures and determines a compression product’s efficacy. The DSI of woven garments is around 50% higher than comparable knitted sports compression fabrics. Thus, woven fabrics significantly enhance the benefits of compression. Moreover, tests have proven that ISKO Vital™+ retains the high compression durability over repeated washings.
