Model: 4623 Compression Short
BioSkin Compression Short with Cinch Wrap are breathable, light, thin, durable, hypo-allergenic, and machine washable all in a long cut. The material is comfortable like cotton yet more durable than neoprene and is prefect for use as a running compression short. This BioSkin model includes a cinch wrap which is used to apply compression to the quadriceps, the hamstrings, or the iliotibial band on the side of the thigh, and function as the perfect product for soccer and running compression shorts. An extra strap can be ordered for a minimal additional cost. Studies show that compression shorts reduce muscle fatigue and improve strength, power, and endurance. Improvements in output result from reduced muscle oscillation, improved proprioception, hip positioning, and the psychological benefits derived from wearing the shorts.

Ultima is a three layer laminate. Two nylon lycra layers sandwich an ultra-thin Smartskin membrane. This membrane gives BioSkin compression short products their power and recovery. The breathability of the Smartskin membrane also allows for the release of moisture vapor. Ultima is the lowest profile Bio Skin material and offers the best dynamic radial stretch providing true compression to the affected area.
Compression Short Colors: Shorts come in Black or White. Please Note: The Cinch Strap only comes in Black.
Available Sizes: Measure the waist circumference for the correct size. BioSkin compression short models are made of medical grade compression fabrics that will provide up to 7x more compression than cotton, Spandex, or Lycra materials. Customers with a medium to fleshy build, and/or those on the borderline of two sizes are urged to choose the larger size as these shorts definitely run on the tight side.

Compression Short Application Instructions
This compression short should be applied to dry skin. Oils, lotions and perspiration will make the support harder to put on and will make it will feel as if it's sized too small. Dry the area of application before applying support. Take the support with both hands and stretch the top and bottom of the support two to three times. This helps to relax the material before it gets broken-in.
1. This compression short is very compressive. Stretch the leg openings vigorously, prior to application.
2. Step into the shorts. Using both hands with thumbs against the thigh and hands extended, move hands down the lower leg, gathering the material. Pull shorts up, one leg at a time, until waistband is just above the knee.
3. Repeat the procedure, pulling up shorts, until waistband is at crotch level.
4. Once again, gather the material, and pull over buttocks one side at a time.
5. Continue pulling up to waist level. Adjust for comfort.
6. Bottom of shorts should fit about 2-3 inches above the knee. Shorts should fit snugly in the crotch.
Applying the Cinch Strap
1. Attach the cinch strap to the strip of fastener loop on the outside of the leg with the buckle forward.
2. Wind the cinch strap around the leg, and through the buckle to the desired level of compression. Secure strap to the loop fastener.
