Human Wear

A double blind clinical study recently proved that the effects of Celliant™ (formerly known as HoloFiber) to be compelling and significant. The results of Dr. Lavery's study, using products made with Celliant™ (formerly known as HoloFiber) and controlled non-Celliant™ (formerly known as HoloFiber) products, indicate measurably increased oxygen levels observed and recorded in the body and blood in subjects wearing the Celliant™  (formerly known as HoloFiber) products. This testing demonstrated that there was a "Statistically significant change in transcutaneous oxygen - or the oxygen delivery to the skin - in hands and feet, on subjects wearing Celliant™ (formerly known as HoloFiber) gloves and socks compared to those wearing comparable non-Celliant™ (formerly known as HoloFiber) gloves and socks."

"The significant changes observed are very compelling for this type of product. An 8 to 12% improvement in skin oxygenation could increase marginal circulation enough to improve wound-healing or eliminate ischemic (localized tissue anemia due to obstruction of the inflow of arterial blood) pain of the legs," observed Dr. Lavery.

Following these findings, another double-blind study, conducted by Graham McClue PhD., with Dr. Lavery, was commissioned to determine if this fiber could produce the same results in non-compromised, or healthy, subjects. In both studies, Celliant™ (formerly known as HoloFiber) increased oxygen levels in both diabetic and non-challenged subjects by as much as 29.97%. Wearing Celliant™ (formerly known as HoloFiber) textiles and placebo textiles, oxygen levels on the forearm and foot of the healthy population were observed to increase in the test – 29.97% in the forearm, and 10.18% in the foot.

Clearly, EquiPedic HoloSocks and HoloWraps for people who ride horse can be of great benefit. Nearly, everyone who rides has, at one time or another, experienced that numb feeling in their feet. Not with our socks! The increased blood oxygen levels you will experience when you wear our riding socks will help to make that feeling a thing of the past. Our HoloWraps will significantly reduce pain in ankle, elbow or knees. You'll be able to stay in the saddle longer and enjoy riding more!
