CircAid
Non-Elastic Compression Support
About CircAid
Innovative CircAid® technology helps people get better faster. And stay that way. You may not stay up nights wondering why giraffes have venous pressures of more than 250 mm of mercury at their ankles – three times that of humans – and never suffer from lymphedema or venous disorders. But physiologists have. And they found the answer. The secret is in the skin. Giraffe skin is non-elastic. It doesn’t stretch. It cannot stretch to accommodate edema. So it isn’t susceptible to problems like lymphedema and venous disease. Even though the animal may be on its feet 24 hours a day. At CircAid Medical Products, Inc., we apply the same principle to humans.
Non-Elastic Bands – Combining Simplicity & Science
Sometimes new patients look at one of our systems and wonder how a series of nylon bands will help them feel better. Well, those bands hold the key. They’re made of VELCRO® brand hook and loop fasteners. So they’re adjustable. And patients can sustain proper levels of compression. Even when limb size changes or during physical activity. The bands also supply gradient counterpressure. Which means better circulation.
But don’t be deceived. It only sounds simple. CircAid systems are, in fact, highly engineered and offer a unique combination of physics and physiology. Years of development – and experience with leading physicians and thousands of patients – have proven CircAid technology works better than bandaging or prescribed elastic compression. It’s much more efficient in moving fluids out of and supplying nutrition to the affected areas.
