How Do the Sigvaris Stockings Work?

How Easy Are These Stockings to Put On?

While compression stockings by their nature can be a little difficult to put on, the double-covered inlaid yarns used in the Sigvaris Style Stockings allow them to glide on and off. To prevent unwanted movement, these stockings feature a Sensinnov lace grip-top that holds your stockings in place until you're ready to remove them.

Which Level of Compression Do I Need?

These stockings have a compression level of Afnor Class 2, which equates to 15 - 20mmHg of pressure. This is a light-to-moderate level of compression and may not be suited for more severe conditions. If you are unsure of which level of compression you require, we strongly suggest referring to a medical professional.

What Materials Are the Stockings Made From?

  • Polyamide (72%)
  • Elastane (28%)

Please note that this may differ slightly for different styles and compression classes. All Style Opaque Stockings do NOT feature any latex, making them suitable for latex-allergy sufferers.
