What are the benefits of compression socks?

Compression socks exert a graduated pressure on the lower leg (it decreases from the ankles to the knees), improving blood circulation and venous outflow. Normal blood circulation is very important for athletes who are constantly exposed to significant physical activity.

In addition, compression socks support muscles and ligaments, reduce the risk of sprains, bruises and other injuries. They also prevent the development of varicose veins (especially if there is a hereditary tendency to this pathology) or inhibit its progression.

After intense physical activity, muscles can be subjected to microtraumas, which leads to pain, inflammation and fluid retention in the tissues. Compression socks improve not only blood circulation, but also lymphatic drainage, so that swelling and muscle fatigue go away, and the process of muscle recovery is accelerated.

Medical socks are very popular with athletes engaged in running, jumping and other sports with significant loads on the muscles of the legs. They also protect the ankle joints from damage (e.g. sprains).

What are the benefits of cotton compression socks?

The main advantage of these compression socks is in their composition. Lauma Medical manufactures Cotton Comfort socks from cotton (60%), nylon (28%) and Lycra (12%).

Please note: for the manufacture of medical knitwear is used environmentally friendly cotton - “bio-cotton”, which is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. It is also softer and airier than regular cotton.

Cotton Comfort compression socks are suitable for people with sensitive skin and those who are prone to various allergic reactions. And athletes prefer them due to their excellent moisture dissipation - in cotton socks the feet do not sweat too much and do not overheat.

Compression knitwear made of cotton is easy to use - such socks a person can wear for a long time, without any unpleasant sensations. In addition, they are universal - suitable for both athletes and people who lead a sedentary lifestyle.

What do I need to look for when choosing compression shiners?

When choosing medical knitwear, first of all, you should pay attention to its compression class. Cotton Comfort socks have a pressure of 18-21 mmHg and belong to the first compression class.

They are used in the initial and moderate manifestations of varicose veins, and can also be used for prevention at high risk of “venous” diseases.

It is very important that the compression socks properly fit the legs - do not slip during intense exercise, but also do not squeeze the feet and shins too much. This can lead to poor circulation in the legs or neurological disorders.

Lauma Medical Company offers 4 sizes of Cotton Comfort shorts (M, L, XL, XXL), so anyone can easily find the necessary model.
