PEACHTREE CITY, GA, September 09, 2010 (Press-News.org) Imagine slipping on a pair of tights or leggings and knowing that you not only look great, but that your hosiery is actually working to keep your legs healthy. Wouldn't it be even better if that product had lasting microfiber softness?
At the beginning of September, SIGVARIS introduced Soft Opaque into the United States market. Soft Opaque is a unique opaque medical compression hosiery option because it was created without the use of any chemical additives.
"We wanted to create a truly soft product by using microfiber yarns, not by adding chemicals to fabrics. We wanted our product to remain soft, even after many washes," says Michael Leonard, research and development manager at SIGVARIS North America.
Soft Opaque, is a stylish stocking that is available in knee-highs, thigh-highs and pantyhose. The pantyhose style may be worn as tights or leggings, to help mask any problem areas that women do not want others to see. The entire fashionable line is available in Midnight Blue, Espresso, Graphite and Black.
SIGVARIS medical compression hosiery promotes leg health and is universally recommended for both surgical and non-surgical treatment of venous disorders. The product may also be worn to alleviate heavy, tired legs for expectant mothers.
