Without Drugs or Surgery, Graduated Compression Hosiery has been proven effective in treating varicose veins!

For literally thousands of years, pressure bandaging the lower legs was known to reduce varicosity of the veins; ease swelling in the feet and legs; and treat skin ulceration…an inexact science then, but it did work. In the 1930s, doctors began experimenting with rubberized hosiery to treat a multitude of venous maladies.  The benefits of compression on the lower legs was, almost immediately, recognized as very effective—even if comfort and appearance left much to be desired!

Following World War II, great strides were made in producing stylish, precision graduated compression hosiery. Synthetic fibers were developed which felt more comfortable and cooler to the skin, while elastic fibers provided exact, long-lasting  compression. Advanced knitting technology made blended-fiber hosiery possible--even in various compression levels.

The combination of advanced fiber and knitting technologies led to modern Graduated Compression Medical Hosiery that is available to you today—Hosiery that is...

  • Comfortable and Cool to wear…
  • With the Look and Feel of regular hosiery
  • and most importantly—
  • Hosiery that has been clinically tested to be completely safe and proven effective as treatment of Varicose Veins, as well as more critical venous disorders.
