It's Support That Feels Good:

Graduated compression vascular stockings have been recommended by doctors for over 40 years and worn by millions of patients. That's why you should be confident that your doctor has recommended this product.

These graduated compression vascular stockings can help your legs by helping the veins do their work. They not only give your leg muscles an invigorating little massage as you move, but also help your blood get to where it's supposed to go. That can also help your legs feel better.

Getting The Blood Moving Better:

There are two kinds of blood vessels in your body's circulation:

1) Arteries
2) Veins

For the most part, arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The walls of the arteries are thicker than the walls of the veins and actually help the heart to pump the blood by squeezing or contracting, much like you would squeeze a tube of toothpaste, only much more gently and faster.

Veins, on the other hand, have thinner walls and don't do any pumping. They do, however, have a set of small valves. These valves open when the blood is pushed past them and close, after each heartbeat, to stop the blood from rushing backwards or downwards in the case of the legs. Sometimes, these valves become damaged and don't do their job very well. That's where graduated compression vascular stockings come in.

These help to return the blood back to the heart by gently compressing your leg muscles, which gently squeeze the veins and help push the blood in the right direction.

It's a Precise "Squeeze":

Graduated compression vascular stockings aren't like some of the support stockings you might get in the store. Your doctor recommended them because the knit of the stocking is very special. The "squeeze" at the ankle is greater than the "squeeze" at the calf or the thigh. They are designed that way because 40 years of experience have given us the best compression "formula" to give you the best circulatory support.

Don't Stop With Stockings...Be Kind To Your Legs:

There are additional things you can do to make your legs feel better, as well as wearing graduated compression vascular stockings:

space Put your stocking on as soon as possible in the morning. You'll be less likely to have swelling and discomfort.
space When resting, keep your legs elevated higher than the heart. That will help the blood return to your heart
Bullet Point.JPG (1152 bytes) Avoid standing for prolonged periods of time
space Keep your legs warm in cold weather or during the evening hours whether you're standing or just relaxing in front of the television or reading a book
Bullet Point.JPG (1152 bytes) Don't cross your legs when sitting down. It reduces circulation
space If you often ride in a car, be sure to stop and walk for five minutes or so every hour you're travelling

The Proper Care of Your Stockings:

The most important thing to remember is to take care of yourself. But, you should also remember to take care of your stockings. Hand or machine wash with warm water, Jolastic Washing Solution, mild soap or detergent. No chlorine bleach. Warm water rinse. Do not machine dry. That's all. No difficult instruction. With a few pairs, you can wear one, have one in the laundry, and one pair in the drawer.

Unlike tube-knit compression stocking brands, Medi's computer-controlled weaving process creates an anatomically correct stocking shape.  Medi's anatomical shape is more comfortable for the patient and also delivers more precise therapeutic medical compression.

Over 97% of patients can be fitted precisely and accurately for their medical stocking needs in Medi ready-made stockings.  Patients requiring non-standard size can be fitted in Medi custom-made seamless stockings.

Medi stockings are manufactured with a state-of-the-art knitting technology incorporating uncoated spandex yarn for a more open, resilient weave and softer feel.   This combination offers greater breathability and wearing comfort. 

Because Medi stockings are more comfortable and adaptable to everyday living, patient compliance is markedly better, delivering greater therapy success.

Medi's unique uncoated yarn and manufacturing process results in the maximum length and width elasticity of any medical stockings.  This natural elasticity promotes wearing comfort and makes daily application much easier.

Composed of ultra-fine high-tech fiber, Medi stockings can be machine washed and dried.   And the open mesh of Medi's uncoated spandex is less likely to trap dirt, medicated creams, lotions, and skin oils.

Medi medical stockings are guaranteed to provide proper compression for six months.

Mediven Lymphedema Sleeve™

bull20-30 mmHg and 30-40 mmHg

Designed to treat primary or secondary lymphedema of the hand and arm, Mediven lymphedema sleeves - available in arm sleeve, gauntlet or combination style - offer precise therapeutic compression, comfort, easy care, and durability.

Manufactured in a choice of Class 1 or Class 2 compression grades, Mediven sleeves are formulated to encourage lymph flow by increasing muscle pumping efficiency and corresponding tissue pressure.  Mediven sleeves are an effective treatment for primary lymphedema patients, as well as those experiencing lymphedema following mastectomy, radiotherapy, cellulitis, trauma or surgery.  Mediven sleeves are also useful in burn therapy, blood poisoning, tennis elbow and edema caused by immobility following a stroke or cast application.

Adjustable, Sustainable Compression Promotes Healing and Patient Autonomy.

The CircAidŽ Compression Bandage system is a breakthrough technology in compression therapy.  CircAid's exclusive interlocking, non-elastic bands provide the constant compression and gradient counterpressure that helps move fluids and nutrition through the lower extremities.  CircAid is easy to put on and adjust, so patients wear CircAid longer and more often.  The result is improved circulation, fast healing and more comfortable, independent patients.

Bullet Point.JPG (1152 bytes) Durable, non-elastic materials never lose compression like stockings.
Bullet Point.JPG (1152 bytes) Adjustable, interlocking bands mean proper compression is easily sustained regardless of changes in limb size or physical activity.
Bullet Point.JPG (1152 bytes) VelcroŽ fasteners make legging easy to put on, take off and adjust without assistance.
Bullet Point.JPG (1152 bytes) Machine washable.

For us, the pressure is always on.

We understand the challenges of living with a circulation disorder.  And CircAid is the only compression system that answers these challenges successfully.  Our patented Velcro bands are proven to greatly increase patient autonomy and compliance.   Our innovative, adjustable, non-elastic materials sustain compression, promoting healing rates that are significantly faster than traditional methods.  Traditional compression therapy asks a lot of the patient.  With CircAid, the pressure to aid in healing is on us, and off the patient.  Go to CircAid Comparison Graph.


CircAid results speak for themselves

Time after time, independent studies show that CircAid technology is much more efficient than other compression techniques in promoting healing and improving quality of life.  So when it comes to showing how effective CircAid is, don't just listen to us.   Listen to doctors like one professor of surgery who called CircAid "the most important new change in therapy for venous and lymphatic disease in the last quarter century."  Or listen to patients whose lives have been changed by the flexibility and healing only CircAid can deliver.

Bauerfeind, one of the original European hosiery and wearable therapy manufacturers, is the first to blend the art of fine fashion hosiery technology and the science of clinically proven gradient pressure therapy into a hosiery collection that offers the best of both worlds.

In the 1950s, gradient pressure therapy was first engineered into rubber stockings by a German-born American engineer. While these products were more medically effective, they were still generally considered an enbarrassmennt to ware because of their thick, rubbery look.

Thanks to moder technologies, the last few decades have produced an array of "fashion Sheers"- famous-maker hosiery that helps you look goood...but wich usually onlylasts a few wearings, Unfortunately, these fashion sheers also lacks the health benfits and "feel good" sensation of true gradient pressure therapy hosiery.

PEROMETER 550 T

 
 
  ProMed is proud to announce its purchase of one of only a few Perometer 500 T's in the country. This state of the art device is used for measuring compression garments and can be adapted to all manufacturers. Its is particularly useful in measuring custom garments, as it takes only a matter of minutes to complete all aspects of measuring. It offers an alternative to the traditional labor intensive tape measuring process and reduces human error due to incorrect positioning of the tape or pulling the tape too tight. By using infra-red light, the Perometer can efficiently and accurately measure for both upper and lower extremity garments. Its advanced reporting features also make it ideal for managing edema, as it's computer records graphic analysis of volume vs time, comparisons between right and left limbs and sizing tables for ready-to-wear garments. Along with patient records, the Perometer maintains detailed records each time a patient is measured with date and time of the day information.  
 
 
 
 

Measuring

 
Harmless infrared light transmitters are located along two sides of the Perometer frame. Each light transmitter is spaced 2.54mm apart. On the opposite side of the frame from the transmitters are photosensors spaced 1.27mm apart. When the light transmitters are activated, the photosensors identify where the limb is obstructing the light. This enables the preometer to identify an ellipse of the limb. As the frame moves along the limb, this process is repeated every 4.7mm.

The girth of the limb is calculated from the ellipse of the limb. This girth or circumference measurement is important in monitoring limb size and measuring for compression garments. The volume of the limb is calculated using the formula for a truncated cone. The length of the cross section is 4.7mm. enabling the Perometer to get quick and accurate volume measurements.
