Yes. KYMIRA® garments are classified as performance clothing, not regulated equipment. They contain no electronics, no
sensors, no prohibited materials and are fully legal.
1. Regulatory Status & Medical Safety
FDA Determination
CELLIANT® infrared fibers—the engine of KYMIRA® technology—are FDA‑determined medical devices and general wellness products.
This determination is based on their intended effect on local blood flow and
tissue oxygenation in healthy individuals, and their classification as low‑risk, non‑thermal, non‑powered textiles.
Not a Therapeutic Device
The FDA determination does not constitute clearance or approval, nor does it classify the garments as therapeutic or diagnostic equipment.
This ensures full eligibility under competition rules, with no elevation
into regulated device status.
2. Safe Under All Anti‑Doping Regulations
KYMIRA® Infrared fabrics:
- Do not release any substances
- Do not alter physiology in a pharmacological way
- Do not interact with WADA‑prohibited lists
- Have zero chemical transfer risks
Our fabrics work by absorbing body heat and re‑emitting infrared energy, not by adding any foreign agents or stimulants.
This makes KYMIRA® fully compliant with WADA, USADA, UKAD, NADA and other international anti‑doping authorities.
3. Approved for All Tier‑1 Competition Environments
KYMIRA® garments meet kit and equipment rules across global professional sport.
This includes:
- NFL
- NBA
- MLB
- NHL
- NCAA
- EPL & European Football
- World Rugby
- International Athletics & Olympic sport
Our products are classified as standard performance clothing, not equipment requiring disclosure or approval.
4. No Electronics. No Risk. No Sanctions.
Teams often seek assurance around unauthorised electronics or smart-device violations.
KYMIRA® Infrared fabrics:
- Contain no batteries, sensors, transmitters or microelectronics
- Do not store or transmit data
- Cannot interfere with GPS, HR monitors or player‑worn sensors
- Are fully compatible with wearable technologies (WHOOP, Catapult, Polar, Oura, Hawkin Dynamics, VALD)
This ensures zero risk of competition sanctions and full compliance with all device policies.
5. No Heat Generation, No Thermal Risk
Infrared fabrics used by KYMIRA® are non‑thermal.
They use photochemical infrared reflection, not heat emission.
The technology:
- Does not elevate tissue temperature
- Does not increase risk in hot‑weather events
- Remains stable under contact, collisions and layering
Infrared output is produced purely from body‑emitted heat, not external heating sources.
6. No Compression Classification Issues
KYMIRA® garments:
- Are not medical‑grade compression
- Are not classified as compression equipment
- Can be freely worn under team kit with no approval required
This is especially important in leagues with strict uniform regulations, such as NFL, NCAA, World Rugby and Premier League football.
*Please note the Infrared Compression socks do have medical grade compression in.
7. Proven Clinical Safety
KYMIRA infrared textiles have undergone:
- Multiple human clinical studies on blood flow and tissue oxygenation
- Safety evaluations across sport, wellness and medical settings
- No adverse effects reported in trials
Clinical publications and FDA guidance confirm low‑risk, non‑invasive, non‑thermal operation.
Skin‑safe materials & no chemical treatments
KYMIRA uses bio‑ceramic minerals permanently locked inside the yarn, not surface treatments. This eliminates risks of rubbing, flaking, or chemical transfer, making the garments suitable for sensitive‑skin users.
