New color… and light compression (1) made from natural flax fiber
1 in 3 French people suffer from venous insufficiency2 and only 57% of them seek treatment for it3 .
In 2023, we wish to see a world which makes people a central concern. We can use this vital energy to take care of ourselves, to move from distrust to trust by finding self-harmony again to ensure our long-term well-being4.
Wearing venous compression is the standard treatment for chronic venous disorders5.
To support this new energy, inviting us to refuse suffering, to take action and to become fully proactive in our environment once again, come discover our new color for the solution Venoflex FAST Lin. These choices are not insignificant but a bid for meaning.
Europe is the cradle of flax culture, a fiber which stands out for its environmental benefits and its ethical values. Flax fiber ensures sober culture and sustainable agriculture which relies on rain water and the sun. This natural plant fiber answers to current growing societal concerns through simplicity, sobriety and everything natural; essential values entrenched in our daily lives6.
Flax has sophisticated mechanical properties. It is an inspirational fiber for the textiles field, especially due to its heat regulating ability6. It is breathable6 in summer and insulating6 in winter. Flax fiber is also absorbent6. Flax can hold up to 20% its weight in water without appearing damp to the touch. Flax is also known for its suppleness and its softness6 to the touch, and it is the most solid natural textile fiber6.
Azure blue, a significant and attractive color. It reflects the sober and natural aspect of flax, it conveys softness through its light and bright tone. A new color which connotes life, pure air and lightness, to remind us how important it is to focus on the essential.
