WHAT IS A COMPRESSION STOCKING?

To develop and produce high level efficiency and esthetic medical stockings is to combine medical research and the latest technologies in the textile intelligence field. A know-how that SIGVARIS has been building through its 50 years of experience, a permanent closeness to the medical community and the patients.

Thus, our will and commitment to personalize our products to adapt the stocking to the patient's legs becomes the daily challenge of our developers and designers worldwide.

SIGVARIS medical stockings combine fonctionnality, esthetic and controlled efficacy.

A medical stocking is made of a loop and of an inlaid yarn. The inlaid yarn is a textile-covered synthetic elastic yarn (covered yarn) that is incorporated into the loop. The specific know-how in the configuration of the covered yarns will define the quality of the medical stocking. The dosage of pressure level is defined by the covered yarn. A specific yarn caliber is selected to obtain the desired pressure dosage of the medical stocking.
