The Science Behind the Fabric
Incrediwear products increase circulation to reduce inflammation & swelling, relieve pain, restore mobility, and accelerate recovery. Unlike compression products, Incrediwear products do not compress to work. Instead, the technology incorporates the semiconductor elements Germanium and Carbon within the fabric that release negative ions when stimulated by body heat. The negative ions activate cellular vibrations that increase blood flow. Increasing circulation helps bring more oxygen and nutrients to the target area, which optimizes the body’s natural healing process and accelerates post-operative recovery.
Incrediwear VS. Compression
A compression garment squeezes and is very much like a tourniquet on the area it is applied. By compressing that area it is simultaneously decreasing blood flow and lymphatic flow, which in turn is decreasing the bodies ability to recover from injury. Athletes have now begun going away from compression because of this fact. The Incrediwear product is different from compression, in that it just has to touch the skin to work, once contact with skin occurs it begins vibrating the cells. This causes a reaction which increases blood flow and blood speed leading to faster recovery and allowing your body to heal.
How do I wash my Incrediwear recovery product?
Most Incrediwear products can be washed in warm or cold water, tumble dry low. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. You can find “how to wash” instructions under product description for every Incrediwear product on our site.
What size is right for me?
Reference the sizing chart in our recovery wear descriptions. Incrediwear sizing runs a bit small, so if you are inbetween sizes, order the larger one.
How long does it take to work?
It usually takes about 20 minutes for people notice a difference in their pain or soreness.
How long should I wear it?
You can wear the Incrediwear products for as long as you feel comfortable. All Incrediwear products can be slept in and can keep you feeling comfortable during the night. If any discomfort from wearing the product occurs, please remove it and get a good night sleep.
Is this compression? Is this copper? Does the product have magnets? Can I buy this on TV?
Put most simply, No. While this product looks like the “as seen on tv” snake oil, incrediwear products are clinically proven and endorsed by the doctor who referred you to this website. Incrediwear is not sold on TV and genuine products are only available from authorized distributors or retailers.
Have their been any complaints of allergic reactions?
Incrediwear has received feedback from a small handful of customers developing reactions. Generally, the reactions were not directly related to the use of Incrediwear products. If you had or are having discomfort from Incrediwear products, please contact them at info@incrediwear.com with a picture and explanation of your symptoms.
Will the embedded elements wash out?
No, the elements are embedded during a process that occurs before the products are manufactured. The elements are embedded directly into the individual fibers of all of our products.
How long do the embedded elements remain active?
The embedded elements will be active for the life of the product.
What is the difference between the black and grey knee sleeve?
The black and grey knee sleeves are identical in composition and construction. Incrediwear offers the product in two colors to provide more variety for the customers.
Can Incrediwear products be worn over clothes?
For best results, the product should be worn in direct contact with the skin. However, the products can be worn over a thin layer of clothing if desired.

SUMMARY
The study, published in The Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine, was conducted at a hospital in the United Kingdom over the course of 6 months. The findings showed a significant decrease in pain for the people who suffer from OA from the continued use of germanium-embedded knee sleeve (Same technology as Incrediwear products).
Alternatives to surgery are preferred by both the patient and physician’s perspective. However, after years of trying to decrease pain, surgery can feel like a patient’s only option. This study showed that it is possible to delay or avoid surgery for OA pain. However, the results are best when nonoperative pain management is done at early onset of symptoms.
For the patients in the study, pain relief was achieved by wearing a germanium-embedded knee sleeve consistently. At a fraction of the cost of surgery, the Incrediwear Knee Sleeve is an effective non surgical treatment for knee pain.
KEY FINDINGS:
-Effective treatment option for patients with OA
-Reduces need for NSAID’s and pain medication
-Increases blood flow which leads to natural recovery
-Provides non-surgical treatment option
-51% Improvement Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
-63% Improvement Oxford Knee Score
-41% Improvement Lysolm Score
