How does graduated compression therapy help with the management of venous problems?
As a person walks, the contraction and relaxation of the calf muscles around the veins aid in moving blood toward the heart. The external graduated compression of SIGVARIS socks and stockings act as a layer of muscle by gently squeezing the stretched vein walls together, allowing the valves to close. The cavity of the vein is reduced, thereby restoring blood flow to a normal state and aiding overall circulation.
By compressing the limb with graduated compression – strongest at the ankle and decreasing going u p the leg – the compression stocking helps the venous return, decreases venous pressure, prevents venous stasis, reduces edema and deterioration of venous walls, and relieves aching and heavy legs by aiding the body in moving blood up the leg against the pull of gravity.
To be most effective, the socks or stockings should be put on at the start of the day and removed before going to bed. Wearing SIGVARIS graduated compression is vital for the prevention and treatment of varicose veins and other circulatory problems.

Feel Great, Work Great! My doctor instructed me to wear these. After surgery he said it will make me feel better. Guess what, he was right! I asked him how he knew they worked. He pulled up his pant leg and showed me that he wore them as well! Well what do you know about that! So I purchased 2 pair and started also. They are a little difficult to put on at first as you roll them up your ankle and calf but you’ll get the hang of it. Mine are black and they stay black after successive washings. Follow the care…
More people should wear these I have no problems with these socks. I have been wearing them for about 2 months. Originally I got them for a blood clot issue, but I exercise regularly and read that these are helpful for recovery from such things like a good leg workout. These socks seem to be good quality and do what they are supposed to do. Typically these are for older people, but I believe that younger people especially athletes could benefit from these.
Other than that issue a very good product, would buy again but would like to … wear out at the heals too quickly for the investment . Other than that issue a very good product, would buy again but would like to see reinforced heels and toes.
