SIGVARIS Women’s Essential Opaque 860 Open Thigh-Highs w/Grip Top 20-30mmHg

OverviewSigvaris Essential Opaque offers a complete range of sizes designed to fit more than 99% of the population. For moderate and more severe symptoms, Essential Opaque features lasting microfiber softness in medical graduated compression hosiery. Sigvaris Essential Opaque products are best suited for containment of various types of edema including venous edema, phlebolymphedema, and early stages of lymphedema. They are also great for post-vein management, including thermal and non-thermal techniques, patients looking for petite and plus-sized options, and expecting mothers. 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 up the leg - the compression stocking helps the venous return, decreases venous pressure, manages venous stasis, reduces edema and management 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 should be put on at the start of the day and removed before going to bed.
