Germany-based Hohenstein Institute, which works on development, testing and certification of textile products, will host a webinar entitled “Solving the Mystery of Compression Garments: A Better Shape Derived from the Science of Compression”, scheduled to be held on 16th November 2016, where new results from a research project into the factors that make up a well-designed, effective compression garment will be presented.
Florian Girmond, Director of Consumer Tests Department, Hohenstein said, “Compression can deliver many desirable benefits for many people. But unless the garment is designed and manufactured carefully, the compression may fail to do the job it is intended to do. Fabric selection, pattern development, pressure point alignment, graduation profile, and many other factors must all work together to ensure that the finished compression garment performs.”

It may be mentioned that people suffering from circulatory problems have used compression garments to relieve their symptoms. People have also embraced compression garments to provide muscle support, prevent swelling, relieve fatigue, and to contour and shape.
The Hohenstein Institute offers manufacturers, retailers, service providers and consumers “competence from one single source”, covering a wide range of distinct, but closely linked fields of work. The company’s research has resulted in quantitative approaches to analyze fit and comfort, proprietary equipment to simulate the human body’s responses to textiles.
