Description
Many people are advised to wear compression socks for medical reasons, including during recuperation following a medical procedure, instances of poor circulation and swelling due to blood pooling in the legs. These Milkteds® graduated compression socks will assist in bringing your body back to optimal health after exercise or illness. They work by putting pressure on the leg veins to increase the speed that blood moves through them, and are graduated because the pressure is greater at the ankle then progressively reduces as it goes up your leg. Compression supports the natural pump mechanism of leg muscles, improving the flow of blood back towards your heart.Milkteds® Recovery Compression Open Toe Socks deliver graduated compression to 18-22 mm Hg, British Standard Class II, but uniquely, in a sock that is comfortable, soft and easy to wear. The socks have been carefully designed in every aspect by a doctor and made to the highest standards in Italy for this UK-based company.As the name hints, Milkteds® are made with milk fibre, produced from pure drinking milk. The fabulous natural amino acids in milk fibre allow Milkteds® to nourish and soften skin, while being sanitising and anti-microbal, so bacteria is repelled and legs are kept healthy. Milk fibre is also breathable and hygroscopic, able to absorb and wick away moisture to keep skin dry and cool.Milkteds® 3D knit design incorporates zonal micro massage patterns woven into the sole to help stimulate the foot, a comfortable ‘Stay-Put’ non-constricting cuff and for these particular socks, a cooling open toe detail, made with a soft comfort opening, permitting you to wear peep toe shoes or sandals. They are also useful for anyone who needs quick access to their toes, such as diabetics or anyone using a toe blood pressure monitor.Milkteds® Recovery Compression Socks are easy to pull on and take off, far more so than the standard tough, stiff compression socks supplied in hospital. Milkteds® are available as closed toe in a range of colours, and as contrast heel and toe also, so you can change your look around without anyone realising that you’re using compression wear.The all-important elasticity and compression factor of Milkteds® is simply maintained washing in a wash bag and by hand in cold water with gentle soap, or by machine on a 30° gentle wash cycle with mild detergent. It isn’t advised to Iron or dry clean them, and avoid the use of fabric conditioners or bleach. Milkteds® advise replacement after three months of regular use (or six months of occasional use) to maintain the correct level of compression for your legs.(04/15)
