They provide graduated compression, strongest at the ankle and decreasing up the leg, to encourage blood flow back to the heart. By compressing veins, arteries, and muscles, they increase arterial pressure and promote better blood return, preventing pooling in the feet. Saphena is a Class 1 medical device, adhering to the latest European Standards for graduated compression and the Medical Device Directive. The compression profile is 18mmHg at the ankle and 14mmHg at the calf, meeting British Standard 7672:1993. These thigh-high stockings are ideal for compression extending up the thigh and are also available in a below-the-knee version. They come in White and are machine washable, made in the United Kingdom. Material composition is 85% Nylon, 15% Elastane. Available in Small, Standard, Large, and X-Large sizes.
