Short Stretch Compression
FarrowWrap™ uses a technology called Short Stretch, which provides a wide range of compression. Short Stretch provides low resting compression, which is safer and more comfortable, but higher working compression when the user is up and about, and it varies the compression to meet the user’s need. The more the extremity tries to swell, the harder the garment works to prevent it. Because it works better when the user is active, users are generally encouraged to exercise in their Short Strech garments. Because of the low resting compression, it is also safer and more comfortable for patients with arterial disease. Since the Short Stretch is applied with Velcro®, the garment can be quickly and easily adjusted to provide the same performance whether the limb is swollen or not.
