Materials

Nylon

Nylon is one of the main elements of compression wear. It’s a silky, smooth material. Nylon is a strong, lightweight, easily washable material that resists shrinkage and increases the comfort of clothing. Nylon is a fabric that is commonly used within compression gear.

Spandex

“Spandex,”  is One of the most stretchable fabrics available, spandex is a lightweight synthetic fabric known for its expansive and durable properties. Commonly used in sportswear and athleisure wear, it’s also the other main component that makes up compression wear, as it’s another one of the main materials that creates the compression. However, Spandex is never used alone in clothing; it’s always paired with other materials.

So, as discussed before for my compression sportswear, I am going to use a material that is made of 80% nylon and 20% spandex

For  my compression activewear, I want to prioritize comfort while providing enough flexibility. So 80% of nylon in the material is a good amount for providing comfort since the fabric is smooth, soft, and lightweight on skin. while 20% of spandex is a good percentage of the fabric as it the fabric itself is super stretchable.

Why did I choose nylon spandex?

Nylon

A strong and durable synthetic material that is extremely popular in activewear. While it is not as moisture-wicking as polyester, nylon is super stretchy and still provides some moisture-wicking capabilities, making it the main ingredient in activewear. Nylon’s stretch recovery is part of what makes it so popular for activewear.

Spandex

because of its superelastic qualities. With its rubber-band ability and heat resistance, spandex is also found in many kinds of activewear because of its capacity to expand and recover back to its original shape. Plus, it wicks moisture away and remains relatively breathable providing the wearer with ease of movement and comfort. Spandex also dries quickly, making it a great choice for hot and sweaty workout sessions.

Nanotextile

Temperature regulation

Suitable for the weather.

Providing the last comfort

How does it benefit heart patients?

 It stresses the cardiovascular system and makes the heart work harder. This can increase the chance of heart attacks, heart arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), and heart failure.

Antimicrobial

to prevent bacterial build-ups

I'd like to do a vital signs Device

Vital signs are measurements of the body's most basic functions. The four main vital signs routinely monitored by medical professionals and health care providers include:

Body temperature

Pulse rate

Respiration rate (rate of breathing)

Blood pressure.
