What are medical compression socks/stockings?
The SIGVARIS® design works because the pressure exerted by the SIGVARIS® medical compression socks/stockings narrows the diameter of the veins so that the flow-rate of the venous blood is accelerated in the direction of the heart and the venous valves are made to function again. In this way edemas are prevented and the danger of thrombosis and other complications reduced. SIGVARIS® medical compression stockings have been on the market for decades. Their value in modern phlebology has been documented in over 120 scientific studies.
SIGVARIS® offers an extensive line of compression hosiery with a wide range of sizes to fit over 85% of all patients, eliminating the need for more expensive, custom-made hosiery. Our variety of styles, fabrics, colors, and compression categories are designed to treat the full range of veno-lymphatic disorders, while offering patients choices to fit their lifestyle. SIGVARIS® is an ISO 9001-registered manufacturing facility that uses state-of-the-art computerized knitting technology. Products are made with covered elastic yarns that optimize both patient comfort and durability.
