Wave Company, a sports garment technology company based in South Korea, has produced EMS (Electronic Muscle Stimulation) suit – WaveWear - the first performance wear which uses genuine kinesiology taping. It reduces muscle fatigue and can be used for various purposes such as pain-reducing, posture correcting, performance-enhancing, and injury prevention.

WaveWear’s proprietary BWAS, the bio waved adhesive silicone, closely aligns and adheres to the human skin to provide similar effects of conventional kinesiology taping that is used prominently by athletes. The WaveWear will be launched on Kickstarter in January 2020.

WaveWear combines the advantages of kinesiology taping compression wear into one unified product. The compression provided by WaveWear has been optimised to maximise blood flow while minimising muscle vibration to help reduce fatigue. Based on clinical tests, WaveWear reduces muscle fatigue as much as 35 per cent compared to other normal compression wear and bears in watered conditions which is much better than conventional kinesiology taping.

Currently, the company is developing a new type of the Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) functional garment. The EMS wear is a wearable suit that utilises modulated mid and low frequency current during exercise. It uses carrier frequency to enable muscles to work out, not affecting the joints. This is one of the core technologies of VR haptic tactile wearables.

This EMS suit integrated with WaveWear’s conductive ElecSil (Electronic Bio-Silicone) technology to be involved in various industries and that could be used for various wearable technology fields such as ICT, VR, AR, MR, XR, medical smart clothing, and the daily wearables.

EMS technology is one of the very latest sectors in the global market. The price of EMS apparel brands on the market is high, while Wave Company is aiming to popularise the EMS functional clothing at a low price. The company aims to introduce EMS apparel to more people at a reasonable price by simplifying the design and adjusting its essential functions.

WaveWear is evolving starting from the sports taping wear which will be launched soon on Kickstarter to EMS training suit, XR tactile technology suit, and health monitoring care suit with their silicone and clothing technology.
