OS1st Patented Technologies
Compression Zone Technology®
Compression Zone Technology, which uses gradual compression zones for each product produced (socks, knee protectors, elbow support, etc.) and hides the zone transitions with the special sewing technique of precision knitting machines, can provide medical level support in this way. The compression zones range from mild to firm, 1015mmHg-2030mmHg, and each zone has a separate function. Variable functions determine the orthopedic effect of each product. Compression areas relieve pain due to existing injuries and prevent possible injuries.
Compression Zone Technology was first used to improve the foot health of athletes.FS6 Performance Foot ProtectorIt started to be used in .

The adventure of the OS1st brand, which starts with a foot protector, which refers to the compression technology it uses with the registered slogan Perform Under Pressure, continues today with a wide range of products that wrap and support all body joints.

Base Layer Bracing: Ultra Thin Support
Os1st's Base Layer Bracing concept combines textile engineering that provides orthopedic support with grade C-Zone Technology designed to support circulation. The Base Layer Bracing detail, which provides high performance and a stylish appearance, provides protection and support to OS1st products. Seamless ultra-thin products wrap muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments, offering increased performance and freedom of movement regardless of the sport, thanks to the medical-level protection they provide. It provides comfort during movement with its wrinkle-free and non-slip structure. High comfort is achieved with fabric features that are breathable, moisture and heat controlled.
K-Zone Technology
K-Zone Technology is a groundbreaking system that carries the therapeutic properties of kinesiology tapes, but is not temporary and binding like them. OS1st has achieved another impressive technology with this invention in the field of athlete support products, where not many innovations have been made. A special hypoallergenic gel stabilizer is used for K-Zone Technology, which protects joints with its wrapping effect without restricting movement. High-strength fabric technology acts like a band and provides joint support without restricting movements 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.
