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.

Athlete fastening Hytro BFR Shorts with vascular overlay - arterial inflow above the strap, venous network beneath

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.

01
Even pressure distribution.

Pressure is spread around the limb, not concentrated at a point.

02
Predictable compression behaviour.

The same strap, applied the same way, delivers the same stimulus.

03
Rapid engagement and release.

One movement to fasten, one to release - pressure on and off in seconds.

04
Built into the product.

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.

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.
