McDavid Harnesses Far Infrared Technology in New Infused Therapy Collection

October 21, 2025

Proven to benefit physiological function, Far Infrared technology takes McDavid’s pain relief offerings to the next level

Fountain Valley, CA (October 21, 2025) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – McDavid, a leader in sports medicine and protective gear, announces the launch of their Infused Therapy collection: the Bamboo Knit and Buttersoft sleeves, McDavid’s first two offerings utilizing infused Far Infrared (FIR) technology for enhanced recovery and pain relief.

FIR-infused garments absorb and reflect the wearer’s emitted energy, increasing circulation, reducing muscle fatigue through energy return, and penetrating beneath the skin for inflammation reduction at the deep tissue level.

“McDavid’s new Infused Therapy line leverages advanced Far Infrared technology to unlock the body’s natural recovery system—delivering elite-level healing and performance in gear designed for everyday wear,” said Jay Turkbas, SVP of Product Development at United Sports Brands

The Bamboo Knit collection, available in Knee ($49.99) and Elbow ($39.99) sleeves, offers a plush fabric blend of bamboo and graphene-infused nylon for all-day wear. Graphene’s atomic structure naturally generates FIR energy return, allowing for an increased recovery effect to reduce everyday pain and soreness.

The Buttersoft collection, available in Knee ($39.99), Elbow ($39.99) and Arm ($49.99) sleeves, features a nylon and spandex blend with a FIR infused treatment that promotes improved circulation. Great for injuries, muscle recovery after workouts (or post workout recovery), and everyday wear, the Buttersoft sleeve helps to reduce pain by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.

The Infused Therapy collection is available at mcdavidusa.com and will be available at select retailers early 2026. Please reach out to maddie@purpleorangepr.com with any questions.
