A new approach to compression
ISKO Vital™+ woven compression technology is the culmination of a multi-year development led by ISKO’s research laboratory. The resulting fabric has been both university and laboratory tested. When worn by a patient, this unique woven compression fabric with its high dynamic stiffness facilitates a micromassage effect on the skin, improving blood flow, reducing swelling, and helping patients to a more comfortable and faster post-operative recovery.

Increased dynamic work recovery
Patients who use a fabric with a high dynamic work recovery (i.e., the strain that the fabric can tolerate) are able to improve their chances for a swift and healthier healing process. The graph below shows that woven fabrics’ dynamic work recovery is at least twice that of knitted fabrics.
Higher dynamic stiffness
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 clinical efficacy. The DSI of woven garments is around 50% higher than comparable knitted medical and sports compression fabrics. Thus, woven fabrics significantly enhance the benefits of compression therapy.
Superior compression durability
The durability of a compression fabric relates to the extent that the compression effect continues over time. The graph shows that after being worn for two hours, a woven fabric retains 96% of its compression effect, while a knitted fabric is already down to 84%. The difference is even more significant after eight hours. Moreover, tests prove that ISKO Vital™+retains its high compression durability over repeated washings.
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.
