Absolute Support provides high quality, medical grade compression at value pricing. Made in the USA, all Absolute Support socks are designed with your health and comfort in mind. Identical to high end brands, we take 4-6 compression measurements at precise intervals between the ankle and end of garment. Multiple measurements guarantee our garments are comfortable and deliver an accurate distribution of the pressure gradient.

Thigh-high compression socks are often prescribed to people with serious medical conditions; this is especially true of people with limited mobility. Blood clots form in the leg due to lack of blood flow, which is prevented by moving around and getting some exercise. Having socks that come over the knee, which gives the wearer an extra few inches of material, may provide relief in these instances as well as keep the compression socks from moving or sliding against the wearer's skin.

Opaque: The term “opaque stockings” is used to describe hosiery that tends to be non-translucentOpaque stockings are usually about 50 deniers or higher in weight, thus achieving its thick appearance. Opaque stockings can be made from a variety of material, including nylon. Opaque stockings combine outstanding functionality with an especially soft and pleasant feel. Their refined opacity discreetly hides blemishes while effective moisture management and ease of donning support everyday comfort. As you might imagine, a sheer is going to be a bit more breathable than an opaque stocking. An opaque is wonderful for cooler months when you want the extra warmth. An opaque stocking will effectively hide very pronounced varicosities or unwanted sunspots, while the sheer will cover your legs, but still mildly expose your skin.

These socks improve circulation and relieve the painful symptoms associated with chronic venous insufficiency.
