As a person walks, the contraction andrelaxation of the calf muscles around the veins aid in moving blood toward theheart. The external graduated compression of SIGVARIS socks and stockings actas a layer of muscle by gently squeezing the stretched vein walls together,allowing the valves to close. The cavity of the vein is reduced, therebyrestoring blood flow to a normal state and aiding overall circulation. To bemost effective, the socks or stockings should be put on at the start of yourday and removed before you go to bed. Some people have an inherited weaknessof the vein walls or valves which creates additional challenges to venousreturn. Wearing SIGVARIS graduated compression socks or stockings is vital forthe prevention and treatment of varicose veins and other circulatoryproblems.About SIGVARIS:The Swiss company SIGVARIS, 100% family-owned since itwas founded, is the global market leader in the manufacture of medicalcompression garments and celebratedits 150th anniversary in 2014.
