Compression Technology

HIDEZ Graduated Compression Animal Suits

The HIDEZ graduated compression animal suits are innovative engineered garments, using revolutionary technologies to construct the suits. Our scientifically engineered fabric is cut into panels, and strategically sewn together to focus on specific muscle groups. The seams act as anchor points, helping create controlled graduated compression across the animal’s body.

Graduated compression applies greater pressure at the extremities (lowest point of the leg), gradually reducing along the limbs and body. This technique forces vital blood supplies out of the lower limbs, back into circulation, towards the heart. The result is enhanced blood flow, improved oxygen availability to muscles, faster removal of waste products (lactic acid, carbon dioxide), reduced muscle fatigue, prevention of injuries, and decreased delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

Travel Benefits

HIDEZ uses a unique muscle-focus strategy when applying pressure to an animal’s hide. The suit wraps around key muscle groups, controlling graduated compression and reducing harmful muscle vibrations. This is crucial during travel, when muscles can overwork, vibrate, and overstretch. Excessive vibration can tear microfibers, causing membranes to leak and the enzyme creatine kinase (CK) to rise, leading to cramping or travel sickness.

Our Fabrics

HIDEZ manufactures its own breathable, moisture-management fabric containing high-stretch elastomeric yarn. This fabric enhances:

  • Circulation
  • Lactic acid removal
  • Oxygen flow to muscles
  • Reduction of muscle vibration and delayed onset muscle soreness

HIDEZ suits are constructed using warp knit technology. Warp knit fabrics are more durable than circular-knitted fabrics, maintaining their shape even under intense physical exertion or force.

HIDEZ Fabric Technology Warp Knit Fabric

Our fabrics are among the most durable of their kind worldwide and are designed to return to their natural shape no matter how much exertion or force they experience during use.
