Compared to material used by other manufactures, Bio Skin® provides superior performance characteristics. Bio Skin® is superior to neoprene and elastic knits by virtually every objective measure. It is thinner, stronger, lighter, and offers better compression. Bio Skin® transports moisture vapor, regulates temperature and unlike neoprene, it breathes. These factors produce greater comfort during extended wear. Problems such as dermatitis and skin rashes frequently associated with neoprene, are eliminated.

Bio Skin® does not slip, bunch up, or bind in the joints. It has excellent memory; i.e., it stretches and returns to its original shape. Bio Skin® offers effective, consistent, and uniform compression from a lighter, thinner, stronger, breathable, hypo-allergenic, and comfortable material that wicks moisture away from the skin. This is important to medical professionals and athletes because increased comfort results in better compliance and performance.

 

Ultima 2s™ is a three layer laminate. A soft anti-microbial micro-fleece fits against the skin with nylon lycra on the outside. The Smartskin™ membrane is sandwiched between these two layers. The fleece adds comfort and offers greater ability to wick perspiration build-up away from the skin.
