Compression Stockings for the Fashion Conscious

       Sigvaris Inc. (Peachtree City, Ga) announces the launch of the Sigvaris® 773 Truly Transparent medical compression stockings. These sheer compression stockings are indistinguishable from ordinary hosiery. They are comfortable to wear, easy to put on, and offer graduated compression from ankle to waist. The stockings come in knee-high, thigh-high, and waist lengths and are available in 4 colors: black, suntan, natural, and black mist. The available compression level is 30–40 mmHg.
       The stockings are ideal for women who need daily medical compression due to varicose veins or swollen ankles or feet or for those who have just undergone sclerotherapy.
       The stockings are made with elastic threads that are double covered with nylon to reduce friction between the skin and elastic threads.
