Cutting Edge Design in Medical Compression Stockings Results in Product That Can Be Worn by the Fashion-Conscious

Market Wire, January, 2005

SIGVARIS Inc., a world leader in medical compression therapy, announces the launch of the SIGVARIS 773 Truly Transparent medical compression stockings. These compression stockings are designed to be sheer and silky for the fashion-conscious woman, and are indistinguishable from ordinary hosiery. They are comfortable to wear, easy to don, and offer graduated compression from ankle to waist to give a great fit under clothing. The SIGVARIS 773 Truly Transparent stockings come in knee-hi, thigh-hi and waist length and in four fashionable colors: black, suntan, natural and black mist. Compression level available is 30-40mmHg.

SIGVARIS 773 Truly Transparent compression stockings are ideal for women who have to wear medical compression throughout the day because of varicose veins, swollen ankles or feet, and for those that have just undergone sclerotherapy.

SIGVARIS designed these stockings to fill a need in the market for medical compression stockings that are easy to put on, comfortable and "sheer." The SIGVARIS 773 Truly Transparent stockings are made such that the elastic threads are double covered with nylon in order to reduce the friction between the skin and elastic threads. Bare or uncovered elastic in medical compression stockings makes putting on the stockings very difficult and causes many patients to stop wearing the product. The SIGVARIS design not only makes donning the stockings easier, it also enhances the wearing comfort of the product.

SIGVARIS compression therapies offer an elegant treatment option to look and feel great!
