Understocking now features Cupron® Copper Yarn Technology
Benefits of fabric made with copper oxide impregnated yarn:
- Reduces bacteria and fungi that can cause odour
- Improves skin appearance
- Helps prevent cross contamination
- Non-toxic, non-sensitising and non-irritating to the skin
- Copper oxide is effective for the life of the garment and is unaffected by washing and drying
In laboratory testing over 24hrs, copper oxide in the fabric reduced bacteria and fungi:
Precise Compression
- Overstocking and Understocking are designed to work together to provide clinically appropriate compression
- Available in 30-35mmHg or 35-40mmHg
- Understocking can be worn alone during sleep to provide 16-18mmHg while patient is recumbent
Ease of application
- Application and removal are more easily facilitated since compression is divided among two layers
- The fabric on the Overstocking has been specifically designed to slide comfortably over the Understocking
A transition to healing
- The Multi-layer Stocking System is not intended to be a replacement for conventional compression bandages but rather should be used as a transition to healing
- Once the oedema has been stabilised, the Multi-Layer Stockings should be prescribed so that the patient may begin to take part in the application of their own compression therapy
