Every pair of socks is treated with care during production
Regular socks are basic everyday wear, providing comfort and protection but lacking specialized functions for foot health. They are primarily designed to protect the feet and keep them warm. In contrast, compression socks are specifically designed to promote circulation, reduce swelling, and provide support, making them ideal for long periods of standing, sitting, or post-exercise recovery.
1. Raw Material
Our compression products utilize diverse yarns, including Cotton, polyester, Spandex,LYCRA, Bamboo Charcoal,and more.
2. Knitting
Uses high-quality knitting machines like German MERZ and Italy LONATI to provide outstanding medical stockings, graduated compression socks, and compression sleeves.
3. Cutting & Sewing
Cutting and sewing can be done in this process for medical stockings like compression knee-high, thigh-high, and pantyhose. We also reinforce the edge of the stocking sleeves.
4. Dyeing
Compression Stockings are dyed in this process, and the chemical treatments are added as well. For instance, the color-fixing agent improves the color fastness; the softening agent provides a better hand feel.
5. Quality Inspection
Our quality engineers inspect every single product and check the dimension according to our product standard manuals. We also test the compression on the Swiss Salzmann MST MK V and CMD-100. Before the shipment, the cartons will be randomly chosen to be inspected again.
6.Packaging
Our customers provide the artwork and we help to develop total solution on packaging including barcodes, size stickers, boxes, and cartons.
Graduated compression socks are made from various elastic yarns, providing appropriate graduated compression from ankle to thigh. The principle behind these socks is similar to that of medical graduated compression stockings. When worn during exercise, they apply proper pressure to reduce muscle shaking, support specific muscle groups, and lower the risk of injury.
After prolonged periods of standing, sitting, walking, or intense exercise, it's common to experience leg fatigue, muscle soreness, heaviness, and even ankle swelling. Wearing graduated compression socks can help relax muscles and promote blood circulation in the lower extremities, alleviating soreness and fatigue in the legs.
Medical graduated compression stockings are made from various elastic fibers, applying appropriate pressure to the legs to aid blood return to the heart. When standing, gravity causes blood to accumulate in the lower veins, leading to poor circulation and issues like varicose veins, edema, or embolism. These stockings provide gradually decreasing pressure from the ankle upwards, facilitating smooth blood flow back to the heart.
Designed to "prevent blood accumulation in the legs," they improve circulation, reduce swelling, and prevent thrombosis. They are beneficial for individuals with long-term bed rest, pregnancy-related varicose veins, post-surgery recovery, and conditions like deep vein thrombosis, chronic venous insufficiency, venous ulcers, peripheral edema, and lymphedema. They should be purchased based on a doctor’s recommendation or from a qualified medical equipment store with a prescription.

Choosing the right compression level depends on your specific needs and the purpose of using compression socks. Typically, compression levels are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), with higher numbers indicating stronger compression.
Mild Compression (8-15 mmHg): Suitable for everyday wear, mild compression socks can help improve circulation and reduce minor swelling and discomfort.
Moderate Compression (15-21 mmHg): Ideal for preventing fatigue and swelling during long periods of sitting or standing, moderate compression socks are often recommended for travel and work.
Firm Compression (23-32 mmHg): Provides strong support and is commonly used for managing mild to moderate edema, varicose veins, and symptoms of venous insufficiency.
Extra Firm Compression (34-46 mmHg and above): Reserved for individuals with severe venous conditions or post-surgical recovery, extra firm compression socks offer maximum support and may require a doctor's prescription.
It's important to consult with a healthcare professional or a certified compression garment fitter to determine the most appropriate compression level for your specific needs and health condition.

1. Roll the sock down to the heel, ensuring it's not inside out.
2. Place your foot into the sock and gently pull it up, making sure it's snug but not too tight.
3. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds to ensure even compression.
4. Check the fit to ensure the heel and toe are in the right position.
5. Repeat the process for the other foot.
6. To care for your compression socks, hand wash them in lukewarm water with mild detergent.
7. Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water, avoiding twisting or wringing.
8. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
9. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the fabric and reduce compression effectiveness.
10. Replace your compression socks every 3-6 months or as recommended by your healthcare provider for optimal performance.
