The Sigvaris Women's Essential Cotton Closed Toe Calf High Socks are designed for all day cotton comfort and a classic ribbed design that is ideal for sensitive skin. Double-covered inlay yarns provide comfort and allow the product to easily glide on and off.<br> The Sigvaris ESSENTIAL collection is best suited for containment of various types of edema, including venous edema, phlebolymphedema, and early stages of lymphedema. They are also great for long distance travel, sensitive skin, and allergies. <br>How does graduated compression therapy help with the management of venous problems?<br>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.<br>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. <br>To be most effective, these socks should be put on at the start of the day and removed before going to bed. <br>About Sigvaris: Sigvaris compression solutions help you to go easily through your day, feeling strong and secure.
