| A unique
group of people began working with an uncommon fabric. We came up with spectacular
solutions to the everyday sport support problems. Our solution... Your solution... BioSkin™
Bio Skin is a lycra + membrane + lycra
material. Bio Skin is half as thick as Neoprene making it less bulky. Bio Skin
is strong, thin, and comfortable. It eliminates skin reaction and increases patient
compliance. |

| When you
sweat, Bio Skin stays put. This feature is called SkinLok™. It is
activated as the perspiration is absorbed into the unique weave pattern of the Bio
Skin. Migration of the support is minimized when locked into position. Equally
important, the SkinLok works with the body like an extra layer of skin. It stretches
with the dynamic movements of the body. While giving even compression, it
eliminates bunching, binding and constriction in the joint. |

When
the heat is on, the middle layer of Bio Skin does the trick.
|
| Bio Skin's middle layer is
the SmartSkin™ membrane. The SmartSkin™ is activated as the body warms and
begins to perspire. The membrane works on a molecular level and swells slightly as
it absorbs moisture vapor. This moisture vapor transmission travels through the
membrane by hydrostatic pressure and is released on the external side of the Bio Skin |
 |
| This
continues at a constant rate, moving moisture and heat away from the body. The
higher the perspiration and heat level, the greater the moisture movement. This,
coupled with the evaporation on the outside of the Bio Skin significantly reduces heat and
perspiration buildup. As the body cools, the SmartSkin returns to its original shape and size. |
