The “high-performance cooling pressure garment” is the result of the foundation’s collaboration with Gwo Jyh Wrap Knitting Industry, Da Ai Technology and other partners, foundation chairwoman Ma Hai-hsia (馬海霞) said.

Comfort is crucial because people with serious burns often need to wear compression garments for two years or more, she said. “Wearing compression garments in summer feels like wearing sweat gear. The cooling compression garment feels like a cool breeze on my skin,” a clinical trial participant said.
