SIGVARIS® Essential COMFORTABLE Class 2 Maternity Tights Extra cover the foot and leg in one garment, with RAL Class 2 graduated compression of 23-32mmHg. Pressure is firmest at the ankle and eases up the leg. The tights are designed for wear during pregnancy and for the management of varicose veins and tired, aching legs.
SIGVARIS® uses the RAL classification, the European system, so Class 2 here is the 23-32mmHg band. That is a different band to British Standard Class 2, and the two systems should not be read across.
Compression tights go on best first thing in the morning, before the day's swelling builds. Open Toe leaves the toes free, which some people prefer in warm weather or with a wide foot.
It's important to get the right fit when it comes to compression garments. That's why Daylong Shop recommends that you contact a nurse, GP or pharmacist to ensure that compression hosiery is appropriate for you. If so, you will then need to be measured in order to obtain the correct size which will ensure that the garment works correctly and feels comfortable.
