JOBST ACTIVA Sheer Compression Stockings

Product Overview

Our sheerest and most lightweight stocking in the ACTIVA line, perfect for everyday wear while keeping an elegant look. JOBST® ACTIVA Sheer compression stockings are designed with graduated compression to help improve circulation – with the highest amount of pressure at the ankle and less compression gradually applied towards the top of the sock or stockings. JOBST® ACTIVA products help manage varicose veins, support circulation and help energize legs.

JOBST ACTIVA Sheer compression stockings provide graduated compression and help improve blood circulation in the legs. They are lightweight and offer a transparent look for fashionable, daily wear. JOBST ACTIVA Sheer compression stockings help manage varicose veins and tired, achy legs. Our medical compression garments are designed to counteract leg swelling. The garments apply gradient compression, meaning most pressure is on the ankle level, decreasing up the leg, correlating to the decreasing venous pressure.
