Calze viaggio

By incorporating the proven medical technology of degressive compression into our travel socks, blood circulation in your legs is enhanced. The firm, gradual pressure gives you extra support and prevents the feeling of heavy, painful and swollen legs during and after traveling.

Prolonged sitting in a plane, train or car can cause blood and fluid to accumulate in your lower legs. Poor blood circulation can lead to serious medical conditions such as traveler's thrombosis.

Degressive compression stimulates lymphatic drainage. Since gravity negatively affects the removal of fluid and waste products, the body could use this help. The pressure exerted is highest around the ankle and gradually decreases toward the knee. As a result of the gradual pressure, oxygen-depleted blood is pushed back to the lymph and heart. This prevents fluid accumulation and swelling in both feet and ankles.

Because of gravity, it takes a lot of effort for the body to pump and circulate blood from the lower legs to the heart. After a prolonged period of inactivity, this becomes even more of a challenge, with the result that blood tends to accumulate in feet and ankles. Poor circulation can lead to pain, fatigue, swelling and thrombosis.

The degressive compression of our travel socks prevents fluid retention in the tissue by reducing swelling and improving lymphatic drainage. This promotes recovery from the symptoms associated with taking a long trip.
