VOE garments: patented 4-way stretch fabric for a more comfortable and secure post-operative recovery
VOE garments have become a benchmark in post-surgical medical compression thanks to a high-end technical fabric, a design conceived for recovery, and over 40 years of experience supporting surgeons and patients.
Patented VOE fabric: 4-way compression
The VOE fabric is based on a 4-way stretch Lycra®, meaning it stretches and recovers both vertically and horizontally, adapting to the body's natural movement. This structure allows the garment to fit like a "second skin," offering even compression without excessive pressure points.
Its main characteristics are:
Multidirectional elasticity : facilitates placement and prolonged use, even during the first weeks of recovery.
High return capacity : the fabric quickly returns to its original shape after being stretched, maintaining constant compression over time.
Precise and graduated compression : designed to exert the necessary pressure in each area, without compromising circulation or comfort.
Post-operative benefits
In the postoperative period, the choice of fabric is key to the quality of recovery. VOE garments offer several clinically relevant benefits:
Reduction of edema and hematomas : controlled compression promotes lymphatic drainage and minimizes fluid accumulation, shortening inflammation and improving healing.
Tissue stabilization : In liposuction, abdominoplasty, and body contouring surgeries, VOE tissue supports the worked planes, reducing tension on incisions and helping to define the contour.
Greater comfort and adherence : 4-way stretch allows you to move, cough or stand up without the garment shifting, improving tolerance to continuous use (23–24 h/day in the first weeks).
Furthermore, the design of VOE garments (girdles, bras, leggings) adapts to the most complex anatomical areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs and back, offering uniform support that optimizes aesthetic results.
Differences compared to other tissues
Compared to conventional or generic fabrics, the patented VOE fabric offers several distinct advantages:
Superior adaptability : Many compression garments only stretch in one or two directions, resulting in loose areas or excessive pressure. The 4-way stretch VOE adapts to the patient's changing anatomy as swelling subsides.
Stable compression over time : the fabric maintains its level of compression after multiple washes and hours of use, which is critical in long recovery phases.
Comfort and skin tolerance : Combined with high-quality cottons and microfibers, VOE fabric is breathable, hypoallergenic and latex-free, reducing irritations and improving the patient experience even in prolonged use.
These characteristics make VOE garments especially suitable for large-area plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeries, where the precision of compression and comfort directly influence the final result.
Experience and professionalism of the VOE brand
VOE has spent over four decades developing medical compression garments in close collaboration with plastic surgeons, reshaping the fabric, design, and ergonomics of each collection to meet the real needs of the operating room and the patient.
The brand adheres to international quality standards ISO 13485 , CE marking, FDA certification, and manufactures Class I medical devices, guaranteeing safety, efficacy, and traceability in every garment. This combination of clinical expertise, technical innovation, and commitment to quality makes VOE a benchmark for professionals and patients seeking a more comfortable, safer recovery with optimal results.
In summary, VOE garments not only use a patented 4-way stretch fabric, but also integrate that fabric into designs intended for the actual post-operative period, with a professional, scientific approach focused on patient well-being.
