These are class 2 compression stockings with a pressure range of 15 to 20mmHg. They are thin and can be used during the summer months. The finish is transparent and satin. They are reinforced at the heel and thigh to prevent runs. The seams are very flat to avoid chafing. The self-adjusting band is non-slip and has an antibacterial treatment. Thuasne recommends them to women with varicose veins less than 3mm in diameter, with heavy legs and venous disorders during pregnancy or postpartum. They are advisable during long journeys or for those who have to stand for long periods of time. They should be machine washed daily with soap for delicate garments and left to dry away from any source of heat. They should not be ironed.
