Who Can Use the Sigvaris Active Work Wear Socks?
Many industries, such as the construction and building industry, require workers to be on their feet all day long, often wearing heavy protective footwear. These socks are the ideal choice for men who are looking for relief and compression that remains entirely compatible with an active lifestyle and demanding environments. The socks are reinforced to ensure the protection of the sole of your foot, and are constructed from specialist yarns which will reduce pain and fatigue.
Indications
The stockings are suitable for the following conditions and uses:
- Relief of tired, painful legs due to venous disease, such as Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
- Demanding environments and active lifestyles
- Helps to treat opened or healed ulcers
What Makes the Sigvaris Male Class 2 Compression Socks Different?
- Highly resistant fabric to support the toe and heel, offering protection during activities and exercise
- Reinforced sole for additional protection for the ball of the foot
- Antibacterial properties to reduce chances of infection or bad odours
- Ventilated calf for maximum breathability and comfort
- Specialist yarns aid in reduction of pain and fatigue
How Do the Sigvaris Socks Work?
Venous conditions such as lymphedema can occur when blood does not flow from your extremities as freely as it should. To combat this, Sigvaris Compression Socks apply graded compression to your legs, which helps to encourage the flow of blood from your feet and legs.
What Colour Are These Socks?
The Sigvaris Active Work Wear Male Class 2 Compression Socks are available in one colour, black with red accents.
How Suited Are the Socks to Active Use?
The socks are designed for everyday work wear or for use during physical exercise. The reinforced sole, heel and toes of the sock will help to reduce the stress on your legs during periods of activity. The antimicrobial and ventilating properties of the socks helps to reduce uncomfortable foot odour and sweat associated with high-energy wear.
Which Level of Compression Do I Need?
These socks have a compression level of Afnor Class 2, which equates to 15 - 20mmHg of pressure. This is a light-to-moderate level of compression and may not be suited for more severe conditions. If you are unsure of which level of compression you require, we strongly suggest referring to a medical professional.
