Compression Technology
The HIDEZ graduated compression animal suits are innovative engineered garments, using revolutionary technologies to construct the suits.
Our scientifically engineered fabric is cut (into panels) in specific ways, then the strategically placed panels are sewn together to
focus on certain muscle groups.
The unique seams also play a role, acting as anchor points, our seams help us with muscle focus creating the right amounts of controlled
graduated compression to the animal
The term graduated compression means applying a greater amount of pressure at the extremities (the lowest point of the leg) and the pressure
reduces off along the limbs and body. This technique HIDEZ uses force these vital blood supplies out of the lower limbs (where fluids tend
to pool) back into circulation, back towards the heart.
This process enhances blood flow and oxygen availability to animal’s muscles speeds up the removal of waste products (e.g. lactic acids and
carbon dioxide) for vital blood supplies. Good healthy blood supplies recover injuries faster, help prevent injuries by maintaining muscle
temperature and it reduces muscle fatigue and by flushing out bad blood it reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
HIDEZ uses a unique muscle focus strategy when applying pressure to an animal’s hide. HIDEZ wrap the muscle groups focusing on them to help
control graduated compression, but also to reduced muscle vibrations. This is very important when animals are traveling.
Muscle’s work extremely hard during traveling, they vibrate can overstretch. Muscle vibration can cause micro fibers to tear in the muscles,
as a result membranes leak and the enzyme creatine kinase (CK) leaks into the blood in high concentrations causing cramping and ultimately
travel sickness.
HIDEZ manufactures its own fabric which is a breathable moisture management fabric ,that contains high stretch elastomeric yarn.
