FAST Research Impact 2022: Innovating Compression Textiles - Dr Liu Rong

Compression stockings contribute to the relief of leg fatigue or swelling for people, the compression exerted by the socks improves blood flow, helping to prevent varicose veins, venous thrombosis and other circulation problems. However, traditional compression stockings have limitations that can include discomfort and lack of efficacy, thus hindering their use. Dr Liu Rong of ITC has proposed new approaches to help solve size fitting and pressure-dose control problems for compression textiles. By applying multidisciplinary technologies and ergonomic design, she has developed high-performance compression stockings and extended the applications to multiple wearable areas. Dr Liu’s research has helped more than 500,000 people with different degrees of chronic venous diseases of the lower extremities. ITC is embarking on a new journey officially on 1 July 2022 !
