Compared to material used by competing manufactures, Bio Skin® provides superior performance characteristics. Bio Skin® is superior to neoprene and elastic knits by virtually every objective measure. It is thinner, stronger, lighter, and offers better compression. Bio Skin® transports moisture vapor, regulates temperature and unlike neoprene, it breathes. These factors produce greater comfort during extended wear. Problems such as dermatitis and skin rashes frequently associated with neoprene, are eliminated.

Bio Skin® does not slip, bunch up, or bind in the joints. It has excellent memory; i.e., it stretches and returns to its original shape. Bio Skin® offers effective, consistent, and uniform compression from a lighter, thinner, stronger, breathable, hypo-allergenic, and comfortable material that wicks moisture away from the skin. This is important to medical professionals and athletes because increased comfort results in better compliance and performance.

The Familiy of Bio Skin® Materials
Ultima™is a three layer laminate. Two nylon lycra layers sandwich an ultra-thin Smartskin™ membrane. This membrane gives Bio Skin® its power and recovery. The breathability of the Smartskin™ membrane also allows for the release of moisture vapor. Ultima™ is the lowest profile Bio Skin® material and offers the best dynamic radial stretch.
Ultima 2s™ is a three layer laminate. A soft anti-microbial micro-fleece fits against the skin with nylon lycra on the outside. The Smartskin™ membrane is sandwiched between these two layers. The fleece adds comfort and offers greater ability to wick perspiration build-up away from the skin.\
Ultima 2sL™ has the unique characteristic of being fully "Velcro® hook" compatible on the external surface. The inner surface has a soft, anti-microbial micro-fleece that quickly wicks perspiration away from the skin. 2sL™ is easily applied even with weak or arthritic hands.
