Tailored Functional Supports & Braces

Tailored Functional Supports & Braces for Optimal Muscle and Joint Performance

We’ve previously detailed the functions and principles of compression socks. In addition to athletic and medical compression socks, we offer a variety of functional products to meet diverse needs, including thigh sleeves, knee sleeves, calf sleeves, ankle sleeves, arm sleeves, wrist sleeves, and plantar fasciitis supports. These products are designed for athletes, post-surgery patients, and everyday users. In this article, we’ll explore their unique functions, how innovative materials enhance performance, our advanced post-processing techniques, and the advantages of collaborating with SUN POLAR to help brands stand out in the market.

1. Compression Support Solutions Tailored for Muscles and Joints

A. Compression Thigh Sleeve

Function

Provides targeted stabilization of the thigh muscles to reduce lactic acid accumulation and soft tissue oscillation, thereby enhancing athletic performance and accelerating recovery. Graduated compression responds to movement, delivering optimized muscular support and effectively reducing fatigue.

Application Scenarios

Ideal for running, workouts, long hours on your feet, and reducing leg swelling.

B. Compression Knee Sleeve

Function

Compression knee sleeves not only enhance athletic performance and alleviate knee pain but also offer thermal benefits that improve blood circulation. Their design provides stability to the knee joint, reduces the risk of sprains and joint pressure, and enhances overall activity safety.

Application Scenarios

Ideal for hiking, running, workplace protection, and joint support for older adults.

C. Compression Calf Sleeve

Function

Graduated compression calf sleeves improve lower leg circulation, prevent cramps, and relieve post-workout soreness.

Application Scenarios

Ideal for marathons, cycling, long-haul flights, and prolonged standing at work.

D. Compression Ankle Sleeve

Function

Stabilizes the ankle joint, prevents sprains, enhances flexibility, and accelerates recovery.

Application Scenarios

Ideal for basketball, badminton, running, walking, and individuals in need of joint protection.

E. Compression Arm Sleeve

Function

Enhances upper limb circulation, reduces fatigue and swelling, and supports arm muscles.

Application Scenarios

Ideal for basketball, tennis, esports, prolonged sitting, and individuals with hand fatigue.

F. Compression Wrist Sleeves

Function

Stabilizes the wrist, preventing repetitive strain injuries and discomfort caused by overuse.

Application Scenarios

Ideal for basketball, tennis, esports, sedentary lifestyles, and individuals experiencing hand or wrist overuse.

G. Plantar Fasciitis

Function

Supports the arch structure, relieving plantar pressure and discomfort caused by fascia inflammation.

Application Scenarios

Ideal for runners, individuals who stand for extended periods, and those with plantar fasciitis.

2. Performance Upgrades Through Material Innovation

This series of compression supports integrates multiple high-performance materials and advanced knitting techniques to elevate the overall user experience:

High-Filament Moisture-Wicking Technology

High-filament yarns wick sweat away from the skin to the fabric’s outer surface, helping maintain dryness and comfort.

Symmetric Knitting & Vibration Absorber

Seamless technology and superior breathability deliver optimal comfort and a cooling effect during prolonged training sessions, while the shock-absorbing structure reduces impact and enhances long-term wearability.

Far-Infrared Germanium Elements

Promotes blood circulation and helps relieve joint pain and inflammation.

Bamboo Charcoal Yarn

Offers natural odor control and temperature regulation for improved hygiene and comfort.

High Elasticity Lycra Support

Stabilizes muscles and joints to prevent overextension or misalignment, improving movement control and support.

3. Product Differentiation Through Post-Processing Enhancements

To meet the needs of diverse application markets and brand requirements, we offer a variety of post-processing techniques to support OEM/ODM customization:

Silicone Grip

Improves stability during wear and prevents slipping.

Brushed Inner

Provides added warmth for cold-weather use.

Differentiated Knitting Structures

Allows different knit patterns on front and back to enhance localized support and breathability.

Cushion Padding

Increases shock absorption and pressure relief for greater long-term comfort.

Reinforced Spring Inserts

Strengthens support in targeted areas, improving joint stability and motion control.

Thermal Transfer & Pad Printing

Enables branded graphic applications for visual differentiation.

Reflective Printing

Enhances nighttime visibility for added safety, combining function with style.
