The inelastic compression alternative
medi® offers the most comprehensive line of compression garments for all individual needs – this includes circaid®, a full line of inelastic alternative compression garments – the alternative to short stretch and multi-layer bandage systems.
circaid provides measurable and instantly adjustable inelastic compression for venous and lymphatic disorders during day and nighttime use. circaid promotes self-management and increases the patient’s desire to stick with their treatment, to further enhance their quality of life.
What makes circaid different
Did you know that giraffes have venous pressures of more than 250 mmHg at their ankles – three times greater than humans? You may be asking why is that important.
Giraffe skin is naturally inelastic, meaning that it does not stretch. Therefore, giraffes are not susceptible to problems like lymphedema and venous disease, even though they may be on their feet 24-hours a day.

The original Compression Wrap
Inspired by this naturally occurring benefit, circaid has incorporated this concept into its inelastic products, designing an alternative to traditional elastic compression therapy. The first patented circaid legging (short for circulation aid) was inspired by a giraffe’s inelastic skin – this core technology would evolve into all future circaid products.
circaid products enable the patient to engage in their own treatment early and to stick with it. circaid products empower patients to self-manage their care for life.

BPS™: Built-In-Pressure System™
This patented technology allows the garment to be set to a specific compression range called the Built-In-Pressure System™ (BPS™). Using this technology and the provided BPS™ card, patients are able to set their prescribed compression range while wearing their garment and readjust during the day as needed. Therefore, the appropriate compression range is ensured throughout the days’ wear – allowing for proper treatment and management of the chronic venous disease or lymphedema.
Breathe-O-Prene®
Our circaid line of products incorporate Breathe-o-Prene® to create a material that is flexible, breathable and comfortable all at the same time. Even if outside temperatures rise, the circaid Breath-o-Prene material allows for improved comfort with a material that won’t weigh patients down.
Juxtaposed Band System technology
The Juxtaposed Band System offers optimal fit and easy handling. With individually adjustable bands that can be adapted, the band system can also be easily readjusted. This makes for easy application and instant adjustability without garment removal! Thanks to the high-quality hook and loop fasteners, the products are also extremely durable.
