SIXPAD "Recovery Wear" that Lowers Fatigue Just by Wearing It: The Latest Model Also Features Contact Cooling Function
Developed using proprietary technology, SIXPAD supports muscle development and overall health. The brand, which leads in fitness gear utilizing EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), is also focusing on recovery wear.
SIXPAD Recovery Wear meets the standards of ordinary medical equipment and home-use far-infrared blood circulation-promoting garments. It employs a special fiber called Mediculation® that promotes blood circulation, helps with fatigue recovery, and alleviates muscle stiffness to guide you to the best condition. The latest model is suitable for summer as it is equipped with a contact cooling function.
What is a general medical device/far-infrared ray blood circulation-promoting garment for home use?
Recovery wear has been gaining popularity in recent years as people become more health-conscious. In particular, demand has increased since the Corona disaster, and many "recovery" products have been released.In October 2022, the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) announced the establishment of a new category of general medical devices, far-infrared blood circulation-promoting garments for home use, which require evaluation tests at medical institutions, creating a new category of medical devices for home use after 42 years.
The hurdle for entry into the market has been raised significantly, as clinical trials are required for notification of the new medical device category, making it difficult to sell recovery wear that claims to be a general medical device, but SIXPAD responded promptly. However,SIXPAD quickly responded and released "SIXPAD Recovery Wear" in 2023, which cleared the standards for a general medical device and far-infrared blood circulation-promoting garment for home use, and it has become a hit product.
"In order to meet the standards for far-infrared ray blood circulation-promoting garments for home use, not only physical properties tests but also clinical tests comparing processed and unprocessed products must be conducted to confirm an increase in blood flow of 5% or more. As a company with a mission to be authentic and actively work on obtaining evidence, we welcomed the legislation because it would allow users to use the product with greater peace of mind," said Ryo Ishizu of MTG Co., Ltd., who is in charge of the development of "SIXPAD Recovery Wear.
General medical devices and far-infrared blood circulation-promoting garments for home use are defined as follows. "A device in the form of clothing intended to improve symptoms such as fatigue and stiff muscles through the circulation-promoting action of far-infrared rays. The fabric is specially treated with minerals, etc., and radiates a certain degree of far-infrared radiation. There are upper-body and lower-body versions, covering at least the upper arms and thighs, respectively."
Adopts Special Fiber with High-Purity Ceramic
The "Sixpad Recovery Wear" uses a unique special fiber called Mediculation®, which incorporates high-purity ceramic made from natural minerals. It radiates far-infrared rays emitted by the body to promote blood circulation."We had two options for how the far-infrared radiation would be emitted: embedding it into the thread or post-processing with chemicals. We chose the former because it degrades less with washing and long-term use, thereby maintaining its effectiveness. This is why we adopted Mediculation®."
The benefits and effects of home-use far-infrared blood circulation-promoting garments are recognized as follows: promoting blood circulation, recovering from fatigue, alleviating muscle stiffness, inhibiting the accumulation of fatigue substances, improving lower back pain, stiff shoulders, joint pain, inflammation, and easing neuralgia and muscle pain.
This wear is expected to be widely useful, whether as loungewear to relieve the day's fatigue, sportswear to aid post-exercise recovery, or daily wear to help prevent fatigue accumulation.
