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: |
 |
Put your stocking on as soon as possible in the morning. You'll be less likely to have
swelling and discomfort. |
 |
When resting, keep your legs elevated higher than the heart. That will help the blood
return to your heart |
 |
Avoid standing for prolonged periods of time |
 |
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 |
 |
Don't cross your legs when sitting down. It reduces circulation |
 |
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.

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

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. |
