About Us
- High Performance Compression Textiles
Designed by Patient Need
- Research Inspired Physiologic Compression Garments
- Physician Driven
Compression Dynamics, LLC:
- Designs and sells Longitudinal Yarn Compression (LYC) knitted textiles for the prevention and treatment of all types of swelling / edema / lymphedema, venous stasis dermatitis and arterial ischemia.
- Supplies customers with an affordable and functionally superior product at a price that is a fraction of what the competition has to offer. Easy to don and doff.
- Provides fantastic customer service. Offering customers quality edema recovery and prevention wear that is both affordable and more comfortable than anything else on the market!
- Our products impact the skin physiology like no other compression garment. Our products are well tolerated during hot weather and by debilitated patients.
- Clinical studies at the Nebraska Medical Center and the Bergan Mercy Wound Care Clinic in Omaha, NE, included over 5,000 EdemaWear® units in more than 800 patients. LYC textiles (garments) were used in non-controlled trials. All observations are anecdotal.
A New Technology – Longitudinal Yarn Compression
Compression Dynamics, LLC products utilize a dramatically new, patented technology, Longitudinal Yarn Compression (LYC). LYC is the clinical term to explain the textile physiology. Compression is generated by medical Lycra® fibers and focused by fuzzy yarns. It is latex-free.

Our Physician researchers hypothesize that the areas of noncompressed skin between the longitudinal yarns act as a zero pressure zone, which enhances lymphatic drainage from the skin furrows compressed between the yarns. |
Traditional compression garments act as lymphatic tourniquets. LYC represents an enormous physiological advantage for patients. Yarns go up and down the extremity. Between the yarns, Lycra® spandex elastic links provide compression. There is noncompressed skin between each yarn.

Over time, the yarn impresses into the skin creating a “cornrow” furrow. In each cornrow furrow, tissue compression is high enough to be physiologically useful.
The swelling reducing effect, the “magic” of Longitudinal Yarn Compression, has been dubbed the “Kozeny Effect”. |
| Deb Kozeny is a nurse practitioner at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The Kozeny Effect refers to the rapid control of edema that occurs when the patients wear our LYC products. |
EdemaWear®, DialysisWear™ and Sport RecoveryWear™ have six advantages over existing compression garments:
- LYC is easy to put on and take off. Donning and doffing traditional compression textiles can be impossible with “tight” Jobst type products.
- LYC is comfortable. It is cool in hot weather. The spaces between the longitudinal yarns allow for perspiration to evaporate.
- LYC is inexpensive. Since Medicare and other insurances do not reimburse for compression products, LYC products are an enormous financial advantage for patients.
- Users report a “sense of comfort” while wearing LYC products. LYC enhances lymphatic function leading to a decreased inflammatory sensation at the level of the skin.
- LYC melts away lower extremity swelling (Kozeny Effect).
- Initial clinical observations show that LYC treats the dermatitis of venous insufficiency. Venous stasis dermatitis is the result of deoxygenated blood that “poisons” skin. Stasis dermatitis heals because yarns focus skin compression. We don’t know the magnitude of compression, but we do know that the yarns deliver physiologically useful compression to the subcutaneous fat. (See Kozeny Effect above)
