Compression Technology

Power must be achieved to ensure a graduated fit at levels from 25mmHg, which encapsulates the muscles to support them during physical pursuits.

THE PRESSIO APPROACH CIRCULAR KNIT - After many years of playing with circular knitting machines and techniques, the team at Pressio truly understands the importance of selecting the correct type of knitting process. We need to hit; circular knit is the only way to guarantee true compression performance. We are ensuring the retaining of attributes the athlete needs; comfort and durability. We are the masters of pre-tensioning the elastane yarns to arrive at the perfect power needed to achieve the power stabilizing effect and graduated fit. This is one of the true art forms we have learned and is critical in achieving a proper graduated compression performance. Coupled with the circular knit process, we have accomplished greater power at a lower weight.

Furthermore, with the newly developed 36-gauge circular knit, we can fulfil an even better power to weight ratio while simultaneously offering no sheerness, which is extremely prevalent in the industry. Management from the inside to the outside of the fabric spreads to deliver fast-drying performance. The outputs must enable long-lasting durability to withstand the rigours of working out.

• High denier black Lycra® allows maximum power with extra durability, so it stays consistent longer, ensuring longer-lasting power and performance.

• Eco-dye dying process eliminates the batch dying process to ensure the power is not compromised and altered from production to production.

Medical hosiery is stiff and uncomfortable to wear. Appropriate fibres must be used to ensure comfort against skin and flexibility, allowing movement while still providing support.

THE PRESSIO APPROACH We believe that performance should not sacrifice comfort. We have established the perfect amalgamation of the three following elements, achieving unprecedented comfort in performance garments.

• We utilize a nylon six yarn that has optimal hand touch achieving superior comfort.

• Black Lycra® adds to the comfort while adding consistent, long-lasting power.

• Our 36-gauge circular knit allows for lighter weight for more power, and this allows the fabric to remain breathable in addition to no sheerness.

Certain fibres must be incorporated that offer moisture management from the inside to the outside of the fabric, spreading to deliver fast-drying performance. The outputs must enable long-lasting durability to withstand the rigours of working out.

THE PRESSIO APPROACH

• We use our performance curated nylon yarn, the highest level of moisture-wicking yarn on the market. Our nylon yarn is also developed for durability, from floor workouts to handling weights; the nylon yarn will stand up to all that is asked of it. In addition, we have incorporated the eco-dye process allowing the yarn to be eco-friendly.

• Lycra® yarn has been utilized for increased durability against sweat and excess movement so that the garment will maintain its power for longer.

Graduated compression (elevated fabric pressure up the legs) and pressure to the limbs actively encourages the increase of venous return to the heart and lymph nodes to improve overall circulation. Graduated compression promotes a faster warm-up of muscles for optimal flexibility and efficiency. Even before you arrive at your workout, you are ready to perform at your highest level.

• GREATER POWER: Our high-powered fabric holds muscles in place, ensuring an optimal muscle firing position providing greater power output.

• LESS FATIGUE: By reducing muscle oscillation, Pressio compression reduces muscle fatigue.

• GREATER ENDURANCE REDUCED BLOOD LACTATE: Graduated compression increases blood flow. By increasing venous return to the heart, the oxygen transport system is improved. Improved circulation helps to reduce and clear the build-up of lactic acid in the muscles and blood. Eliminate the burn.

• IMPROVED PROPRIOCEPTION: Powerful compression provides greater awareness of body position and improved reaction time.

• REDUCED SWELLING: Powerful, graduated compression prevents fluid retention in tissue by reducing swelling and increasing its removal through improved venous return and lymphatic drainage.

• REDUCED DOMS: Reduces oscillation and micro-tearing during exercise, compresses muscle belly after exercise, and reduces bleeding within the muscle.

• FASTER MUSCLE REPAIR: Graduated compression improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage, removing toxins and speeding up muscle repair.

• FASTER MUSCLE WARM-UP: Faster warm-up of muscles provides optimal flexibility and muscle firing.

• REDUCED MUSCLE SORENESS: Reduced muscle oscillation prevents micro-tears, fatigue, and soreness.

• REDUCED MUSCLE STRAIN: Powerful compression reduces muscle strain by decreasing oscillation and also by increasing proprioception.

• REDUCES THE RISK OF DVT: Graduated compression reduces the risk of blood pooling and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Tired, swollen, and heavy legs can also result after prolonged periods of inactivity. Those who stand on their feet all day at work, sit or travel for extended periods may find that the leg muscles that aid circulation becomes inactive. As a result, blood circulation throughout the body can slow considerably, and blood pooling can occur in lower limbs. Pressio compression garments with graduated engineering can help increase blood flow from the venous system to the heart. Blood flow helps prevent blood pooling, reducing DVT risk, swelling in ankles and limbs, and fatigued, tired legs.

Power validated via Salzman MST testing device. Correct power on the appropriate muscle groups to reduce oscillation for less muscle soreness, muscle alignment for increased power, reduced overuse injuries and heightened body awareness.

Certified compression testing technology Swiss-based MST measuring devices are used on all Pressio compression products. The world's most trusted and respected compression mmHg testing devices validate compression power and graduated fit (where required).

Active Seam by Merrow, USA, is a new technology providing 2x the stretch and 30% greater strength of industry-standard flatlock stitching. This form of stitching is the most suitable for compression garments. It moves with the fabric, withstanding the power, and provides greater durability, enabling the compression fabric's full benefits.

Econyl® is an Italian manufactured recycled nylon yarn derived from recovered fishing nets, pre-and-post fabric offcuts, and disused carpets. It is extruded into high filament yarns with advanced moisture-wicking abilities, with added comfort and durability.
