Our patented tissue gradient
technology can effectively increase the flow of lymphatic fluid.
The soft, convoluted foam
design creates high pressure points, which provide a gentle, deep-tissue
compression while the low-pressure points help to prevent blocking vascular
flow. Effective treatment of edema requires compression that can get to the deep
subcutaneous tissues without obstructing the lymphatic and venous outflow.
The ReidSleeve is the only
technology specifically designed to apply effective pressure to the skin,
subcutaneous tissue and the connective tissue of the deep dermis, the areas
where edema can accumulate and where fibrosis can build up. That is why the high
and low pressure exerted by the ReidSleeve is such an effective method for
treating lymphedema.
The ReidSleeve technology
works by applying high and low pressure points to the affected area. The high points force excess
fluid into the area of low points, forming channels for which the lymphatic
fluid can be removed naturally through the lymphatic and venous system. Flat
compression constricts the affected area, often causing the lymphatic system to
obstruct further.
This concept was so unique
that it was awarded a patent by the US government.
