HaemaTec™
The technology behind wearable BFR.
HaemaTec™ is Hytro's proprietary Blood Flow Restriction system, engineered to deliver controlled, repeatable pressure through performance products. Designed for sport, clinical environments and everyday training, it turns complex haemodynamic science into a practical, scalable solution.
How HaemaTec™ works.
HaemaTec™ applies controlled circumferential pressure to the limb, partially restricting venous return while maintaining arterial inflow.
Blood keeps arriving; less leaves. That creates a local physiological environment that amplifies metabolic stress and neuromuscular demand at low external loads - the mechanism behind BFR's preparation, training and recovery effects.
By embedding the system within the product, HaemaTec™ reduces variability and supports repeatable outcomes, session after session.
Built on four design principles.
Pressure is spread around the limb, not concentrated at a point.
The same strap, applied the same way, delivers the same stimulus.
One movement to fasten, one to release - pressure on and off in seconds.
No external hardware - the system is part of the product's structure itself.
The advantages.
Consistency
Delivers repeatable pressure profiles across sessions, users and environments - supporting standardised protocols.
Speed & simplicity
Fast to apply and remove, enabling use in warm-ups, recovery blocks, rehab sessions and daily training without disrupting flow.
Safety-led design
Engineered with controlled engagement and release to support responsible BFR application.
HaemaTec™ underpins every Hytro product.
Bringing BFR to a squad?
The Pro Sport team runs consultations, structured trials and squad rollouts - protocols, education and support included.
HaemaTec™ technology FAQs.
How is HaemaTec™ different from inflatable cuffs?
Inflatable cuffs rely on external pumps and pressure calibration, which can slow setup and introduce variability. HaemaTec™ integrates pressure delivery into the product itself, improving speed, consistency and usability.
Is HaemaTec™ adjustable?
HaemaTec™ is designed to support controlled compression through product fit and system design. Follow Hytro guidance on sizing and application to ensure appropriate use.
Can HaemaTec™ be used in both performance and clinical settings?
Yes. HaemaTec™ was developed for use across performance training, recovery, rehabilitation and return-to-play environments when applied according to best practice.
