OS1st Patented Technologies

Compression Zone Technology®

Compression Zone Technology, which uses gradual compression zones for every product produced (socks, knee protectors, elbow support, etc.) and hides the zone transitions with the special sewing technique of sensitive knitting machines, can provide medical-level support in this way. Compression zones range from light to firm 1015 mmHg-2030mmHg, and each zone has a separate function. Variable functions determine the orthopedic effect of each product. Compression zones relieve pain due to existing injuries and prevent possible injuries.

Compression Zone Technology was first developed to improve athlete's foot health. It started to be used in FS6 Performance Foot Protector . Widely distributed all over the world for the treatment of plantar fasciitis, arch pain, heel pain and edema in the feet of athletes, it has been America's best selling sports support product for 3 years. Today, the FS6 is sold over 3 million copies. The adventure of the OS1st brand, which refers to the compression technology it uses with the proprietary slogan Perform Under Pressure, started with foot protectors and continues today with a wide range of products that support all body joints by wrapping them.

Seamless ultra-thin products offer increased performance and freedom of movement, regardless of the sport, thanks to the protection they provide at the medical level by wrapping the muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. It provides comfort during movement with its wrinkle-free and non-slip structure. High comfort is achieved with its breathable, moisture and heat controlled fabric properties.

K-Zone Technology

K-Zone Technology is a groundbreaking system that has the therapeutic properties of kinesiology tapes, but is temporary and non-binding like them. OS1st has achieved another impressive technology with this invention created in the field of sports support products, where not many innovations are made. A special hypoallergenic gel stabilizer is used for K-Zone Technology, which protects the joints with its wrapping effect without restriction of movement. The high-strength fabric technology acts like a band to provide joint support while not restricting movement like traditional metal and plastic splints or bars. Joints move freely with the comfort offered by K-Zone Technology, in addition to medical-grade compression support. The technology is currently used in two products in the ankle protector category, the AF7 and DS6.
