Research
These are not catalogue lines. They are research and development directed at populations the current market serves badly, and they are a substantial part of what the expanded operation is for.
01 · Programmes
An active development programme rather than a product line. Garments for the period when skin is healing, drains and dressings are present, and dexterity is reduced — access design, hardware removal, seam placement, and pressure control, informed by measurement rather than assumption.
Soft-support bras designed for women carrying high genetic or clinical risk markers, who live with frequent imaging, biopsy and, for many, prophylactic surgery. The design need is repeated skin insult, sensitivity, and long wear. We design for the wearer; we make no screening, diagnostic, or preventive claim.
Existing measurement capability is being extended to sensor-equipped mannequins to quantify the force elastics and garment structures apply to the body. The application is post-mastectomy and lymphoedema-related research. We quantify what garments do to the body; we do not claim to treat.
02 · Methodology
The company is developing instrumentation to quantify applied pressure, and is designing ethics-reviewed studies in which visually identical garments are produced with and without a defined variable, in order to establish reaction thresholds rather than assert them. Any study would run under a qualified principal investigator with approval from an accredited research ethics committee before recruitment, informed consent, and a defined adverse-event protocol. These study designs are being developed; no study is represented as underway or complete.
03 · Evidence
Third-party laboratory testing is described only to defined methods and named product scope: [TEST NAME — TO CONFIRM] · [METHOD — TO CONFIRM] · [PRODUCT AND LOT SCOPE — TO CONFIRM]. The company distinguishes between what customers report, what laboratories measure, and what remains to be established.
We do not ask to be believed. We build the evidence that makes the claim reviewable.
