Graduated Compression Garments improve venous return/circulation (blood flow) and improve recovery time from injuries.

Sports scientists have found also it to be of great benefit for athletes to wear graduated compression garments during activity and in particular during time after activity e.g. the increase of oxygen availability to muscles and significantly reduced lactic acid production in the system. It’s found that sportsmen and women, who wear Gradient Compression Garments during recovery and activity, perform better and stay at their peak longer.

Wearing Gradient Compression Garments during non-activity and immediately after exercise, enhances recovery time from injury, reduces DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and swelling associated with exercise, and assists the body in flushing out waste products e.g. Lactic acids & Carbon dioxide from vital blood supplies.

The HIDEZ graduated compression animal suits are innovative engineered garments, that use 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 for 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 along the limbs and body. This technique HIDEZ uses forces 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 and 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 by flushing out bad blood it reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
