These socks feature low profile toe seams that reduce friction and irritation, especially during walking and running. 66% Supima Cotton that makes this product ideal for those with sensitive skin and for wearing in all types of temperatures.

Diabetic Friendly — Flat, low-friction toes and seams for protection of the feet. The high content of hypo-allergenic cotton is recommended for diabetics with sensitive skin. Soft, knit-in band with high stretchability keeps product from "pinching" legs.

DescriptionDescription

Compression stockings are medical grade devices designed to move blood flow. 

Support compression stockings are made available in multiple compression support levels. Most commonly compression support stockings come in mild (8-15 mmHg), Medium (15-20 mmHg), Firm (20-30 mmHg), X-Firm (30-40 mmHg) gradient compression levels.

The benefits of Compression Therapy are plentiful and the reasons vary from person to person why you may choose to wear compression socks or stockings. As shown in the above chart, some of the most prevalent symptoms or conditions that benefit from compression therapy are:

  • Pregnancy related swelling and vein problems
  • Varicose or spider veins
  • Lymphedema or edema
  • Swelling, pain or blood clots in the lower legs, also known as DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
  • Poor circulation from sitting for long periods
  • Post-surgical and post-sclerotherapy treatment

It can even be used as a preventive measure to maintain healthy legs for someone who spends extensive amounts of time on their feet. Quite simply, when we stand still for long periods, the forces of gravity increase the pressure within the veins of the legs where the greater effects happen at the ankle and decreases gradually up the leg and body. This pressure depends on the vertical distance of the column of blood from the heart to the foot. That's why gradient compression stockings are designed with the pressure greatest at the ankle and diminishing as it moves up the leg in order to counter the effects of the higher venous pressures.

Compression therapy products are put on in the morning upon arising, which is typically before any significant swelling would occur, and then removed at night. Throughout the day the compression prevents blood from pooling in leg veins, which in turn helps your overall circulation and lessens or eliminates any leg swelling you may have.

When shopping for compression socks or stockings, it is best to measure earlier in the day before swelling builds in the legs. Measurements taken later in the day after swelling occurs may cause you to choose an item that is too large and then not effective.

There are many types of compression socks and stockings available without a prescription and they do offer wide-ranging benefits. Before wearing a compression therapy of 20 mmHg (Firm Compression) and above, it is generally recommended to consult your health care provider to find out if graduated compression stockings are right for you. If the answer is yes, they can tell you what pressure grade you should buy for maximum benefit and relief.

QA
In 2013 I ordered many pairs of Sigvaris 146C and they are perfect for me. When I click on "reorder" 160C comes up not 146 C. I'm not sure why. Can you help? I like the 146 C because they are not too thick and the toe box is small enough for my very narrow feet. Why are the 146 C/M socks called maternity socks? Thank you! Asked by Judy

They made a couple of adjustments to what used to be the 146C, and unfortunately, they do not sell the old model due to it now being discontinued. The replacement for the 146C is now the 160C. We truly apologize for the inconvenience since you are not...

the size chart only tells how to measure... measured! but no chart tells you what size to get after one has measured! help? Asked by Robin

Thank you for informing us about this issue. The size chart is now updated for reference.
