A medical compression socks/stocking is made with elastic fibers such as spandex or natural rubber and interwoven with nylon and/or cotton. The construction of the medical compression product is such that the greatest compression is applied at the ankle and then gradually decreases as you go further up the leg. For a medical compression socks/stocking to be medically effective, the product must produced the desired compression when worn by the patient and the compression must be sustained over long wearing periods. Because of the requirements of sustained precise compression, SIGVARIS® medical compression socks/stockings are produced under very strict quality standards (ISO 9001).
Compression therapy is the mechanical treatment of venous and lymphatic problems using pressure provided by an elastic bandage, medical compression stockings, socks, and arm-sleeves. It is the basic treatment for chronic venous insufficiency and lymphedema. Treatment of venous problems depends on the severity of the condition. Minor symptoms respond to changes in lifestyle, while more serious conditions may require medication or surgery.
It is important to talk to your doctor about your symptoms and treatment options. Wearing SIGVARIS® medical compression hosiery provides support for the veins and muscles of the legs. Compression is graduated, strongest at the ankle with decreasing compression up the leg. This design compresses dilated veins to help move blood up the legs and back to the heart.

The SIGVARIS® design works because the pressure exerted by the SIGVARIS® medical compression socks/stockingsnarrows 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.
