How Do the Sigvaris Stockings Work?
Conditions such as lymphoedema can occur when lymph fluid accumulates, often in the arms or legs, when the lymphatic system isn't working correctly. To combat this, Sigvaris Compression Stockings apply graded compression to your legs, which helps to encourage the flow and drainage of fluids from your feet and legs.
How Easy Are These Stockings to Put On?
While compression stockings by their nature can be a little difficult to put on, the double-covered inlaid yarns used in the Sigvaris Essentials Stockings allow them to glide on and off more easily. To prevent unwanted movement, these stockings feature a silicone grip-top that holds your stockings in place, preventing you from having to readjust them throughout the day.
Which Level of Compression Do I Need?
These stockings have a Class 2 compression level, 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 which level of compression you require we strongly suggest consulting a medical professional for personalised advice.
What Materials Are the Stockings Made From?
- Polyamide (82%)
- Elastane (18%)
Please note that this may differ slightly for different styles and compression classes.
