Knit-Rite Lower Extremity Dressing Retention and Compression Garment

Compression support for post-op lower extremity situations, such as knee and hip replacement surgeries. Developed by Ray Fikes, CPO. Provides 25–30mmHG at 50% stretch with the greatest amount of comfort. This garment is designed to contour and fit the upper thigh just like our AK Compressogrip Shrinkers, and is in a class by itself for the heavy patients with thigh circumferences above 22", accommodating up to 40". It is much easier to don than compression stockings providing compression over the lower extremities with a universal waist belt that keeps the garment from slipping down. It is also much easier to don and accommodative for compression over bandages as a retainer. Superior upper thigh fit with great wicking and anti-microbial/anti-odor X-STATIC® properties. X-STATIC® – The Silver Fiber® is a high performance fiber system made with pure silver. Silver is naturally antimicrobial, enabling X-STATIC to safely inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi in the garment. Silver also has the best possible thermodynamic properties, so you stay cooler in the summer and warmer in winter. This multi-directional garment can also be used as an interface for KAFO and hip orthoses where compression is needed. Machine wash and dry. Latex free.
