For an everyday, easy-to-don opaque stocking, the Sigvaris Essential Opaque Knee High stocking — sometimes referred to as a compression sock — delivers 20-30 mmHg graduated compression in an open toe style, in a unisex fit. Part of Sigvaris' Opaque line, it's made with double-covered spandex yarns in Sigvaris' largest range of sizes, designed for easy donning even for wearers with arthritis or limited hand strength. It offers a reliable option for wearers managing venous edema, phlebolymphedema, or early-stage lymphedema who need an everyday opaque stocking. As a global leader in medical compression garments, Sigvaris draws on more than 160 years of Swiss manufacturing heritage to deliver therapeutic support patients and clinicians rely on.
