Core-Spun by Therafirm Moderate Support Socks look and feel like soft, comfortable everyday socks, with the firmer support of true 20–30 mmHg gradient compression. Made in the USA by Therafirm, part of Thuasne, the compression is lab tested. It is greatest at the ankle and decreases up the leg to promote better circulation and help manage swelling, varicose veins and venous insufficiency.
The secret is the core-spun yarn: soft fibres wrapped around an ultra-stretchy core. Even at a moderate compression level, the socks stretch easily over the foot, making them easier to put on for you or a carer. Moisture-wicking, breathable fibres keep feet cool and dry. The comfort top stays in place all day without digging in. They are medical compression wear that doesn't look medical, available in classic colours and fashionable patterns for men and women.
Core-Spun Moderate Support Socks are recommended for:
Moderate varicose veins and venous insufficiency
Moderate swelling, and minimal oedema or lymphoedema
Prevention or management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Superficial thrombophlebitis
Compression after sclerotherapy or vein ligation surgery
After venous ulceration
Varicose veins and swelling during pregnancy, as compression socks for pregnancy
Heavy, tired, aching legs and recovery from muscle fatigue
People who sit or stand for long periods, including nurses, teachers, hair stylists, flight attendants, security guards and construction workers
Moderate 20–30 mmHg compression is best worn on the advice of your doctor or health professional, particularly for vein conditions, compression socks after surgery or during pregnancy. For the right fit, measure your ankle and calf first thing in the morning, before any swelling builds up.
