How It Works
1. Graduated Compression Is Applied
The 20-30 mmHg compression level is designed to provide graduated pressure through the leg, supporting compression therapy.
2. The Garment Helps Contain Swelling
The structured compression garment provides containment around the lower extremity. SIGVARIS specifically identifies Essential Cotton for containment of various types of edema.
3. The Thigh-High Design Extends Coverage
Unlike knee-high compression socks, this style extends from the foot up to the thigh, providing compression over a larger portion of the leg.
4. The Grip-Top Helps Keep the Garment Positioned
The silicone dotted grip-top is designed to help hold the stocking in place around the thigh during normal daily movement.
5. Cotton Enhances Wearability
Supima® cotton provides a breathable, comfortable layer against the skin, making the garment particularly appealing to users with sensitive skin or those who prefer natural-feeling fibers.
