Compression garments are socks, stockings or sleeves with specific levels of pressure designed to compress the body, most commonly the lower limb.
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, prevents venous stasis and deterioration of venous walls, and efficiently relieves aching and heavy legs by aiding the body in moving blood up the leg against the pull of gravity.
SIGVARIS are the global leader in medical compression stockings.
Jardine Podiatry is an authorised stockist for Sigvaris compression socks.
