wear, alleviates swelling, pain and achiness, great for travel, long periods of standing/
sitting, and pregnancy. 15-20 mmHg is the most commonly used compression level.

blood clot prevention and moderate venous insufficiencies. Most frequently prescribed by a doctor for these types of conditions.
The mmHg number indicates the amount of pressure
The higher number indicates the pressure on the ankle, while the lower number indicates
the pressure on the calf.
Diabetic Socks
BIOS Living Diabetic Socks are made without top elastics that can cut off circulation and
restrict blood flow to the feet, they have the ability to stretch and fit most calf sizes without binding and restricting circulation in the leg.
These socks are knitted with moisture wicking special yarns to wick moisture away from
the skin. They are also treated with anti-microbial technology to prevent the growth of
bacteria and fungi in the moisture prone regions of the foot, keeping it healthy. It is vital
to keep the foot dry and avoid moisture collecting on the foot so as not to encourage
bacterial growth; extra moisture can lead to infection.
Easy to put on and take off for both young and elderly people. These socks are seamless,
which will not cause any irritation. They are knit with a flat smooth toe seam as opposed to the raised sewn seams found in ordinary socks which could cause chafing and abrasion.
