Sigvaris Inc. will hold seminars to celebrate the first National Healthy Leg Day. Scheduled for October 15 in Atlanta, Georgia, the event intends to provide education on risk factors for vein disorders. According to the National Women’s Health Information Center, 60 percent of American men and women suffer from some form of vein disorder, most commonly varicose veins. Another venous disorder, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, claims up to 200,000 people yearly in the United States—more than AIDS and breast cancer combined.
       National Healthy Leg Day will feature a series of continuing education seminars for the medical community, as well as classes for soon-to-be and new mothers, human resource professionals seeking information on preventing the two million lost work days related to chronic venous insufficiency, and the general public at risk.
