AcuFABÂŽ is a unique acupressure spacer fabric. Spacer fabrics are referred to as three-dimensional textile fabric because of their design and architecture. A space fabric consists of a top and bottom textile held together by equidistant rigid spacer fibers. The ridged spacer fibers provide the spacer fabric with two important qualities. One being a micro-climate and the other being pressure resistant or mechanical. The spacer fibers are synthetic multi fibers that are heat treated to become rigid. The rigid spacer fibers like Polyester multi fibers provide the foundation for the microclimate and pressure resistance qualities. The rigid space fibers are made up of multiple fibers to ensure that a directed transport of fluids is possible. The modification of the surface textiles by making holes or a loose weave of the materials allow them to support the transport of fluids and makes the transport of heat possible. It is the transport of fluids and heat through the surface textiles and over and around the rigid space fibers that creates a microclimate. Polyester multi fibers are good to direct fluid transport due to its low water absorption rate of 0.2-0.05 mass percentage and water holding of 3-5% and when heated they provide the pressure resistance.
