Essential Cotton for Women Thigh High 30-40mmHg Black Small Short

Why Choose Sigvaris Essential Cotton Women's Thigh High 30–40 mmHg Black Small Short

Extra-firm thigh-high compression at 30–40 mmHg is the most demanding therapeutic compression format in standard clinical use — prescribed for advanced venous conditions requiring strong above-knee containment. Small Short (SS) sizing addresses the anatomy of shorter-statured, petite-framed women at this pressure level. Standard thigh-high length on a shorter leg produces a stocking that either reaches above the correct thigh band position or creates excess fabric at the thigh that bunches under 30–40 mmHg pressure — generating pressure concentrations that are both painful and potentially hazardous at this compression level. SS provides the correct proportioning for shorter legs. The Supima® cotton-rich construction is the critical comfort specification at 30–40 mmHg thigh-high: patients in this compression class are managing significant chronic conditions and wear the garment through full waking days. Standard nylon/spandex at this pressure against the inner thigh over months of daily use becomes an independent source of skin breakdown for sensitive-skinned users. Cotton-rich construction reduces this sustained contact abrasion and makes long-term compliance viable. Confirm band and toe style by exact SKU. Prescription required.

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Advanced chronic venous insufficiency requiring extra-firm thigh-high compression

✔ Shorter-statured women requiring SS sizing for correct anatomical coverage

✔ Significant oedema and post-thrombotic syndrome requiring above-knee strong containment

✔ Post-sclerotherapy and varicose vein management at extra-firm prescription level

Usage & Care

Don stockings in the morning before rising — 30–40 mmHg requires application when oedema is at minimum. Use a donning glove; extra-firm thigh-high requires controlled application technique. Smooth evenly from ankle to thigh band with no bunching or folding. Machine wash on gentle cycle in cool water with mild detergent; hang or lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or iron. Replace every 4–6 months or when compression or elasticity diminishes. 30–40 mmHg requires prescription — confirm SS sizing with accurate thigh circumference, calf circumference, and leg length measurements before dispensing.
