Essential Opaque Thigh High 30-40mmHg W ML Black

Why Choose Sigvaris Essential Opaque Thigh High 30–40 mmHg Black ML

Black is the colour choice for women who need to wear 30–40 mmHg thigh-high compression through professional workdays, clinical environments, or daily life contexts where the stocking will be visible — where the warm neutral of Honey or the skin-tone match of beige is less appropriate than the clean, polished, wardrobe-versatile appearance of black opaque. At 30–40 mmHg thigh-high, compliance is already a significant challenge due to application effort and sustained pressure — choosing a colour and format that integrates naturally into the wearer's daily wardrobe eliminates one of the unnecessary barriers. Medium Long (ML) sizing is the correct specification for users with medium circumference and longer thigh length where standard or short sizing fails to reach the correct anatomical position and produces garment bunching below the target zone, disrupting the compression gradient. The durable opaque nylon/spandex knit maintains compression integrity through the repeated daily laundering that extra-firm compression demands, and the Sensinnov® grip-top holds securely at the thigh without rolling or creating a constrictive band. Prescription required — clinical fitting essential.

Usage & Care

Don stockings in the morning before rising — extra-firm thigh-high requires application when oedema is at minimum. Use a donning glove; 30–40 mmHg thigh-high demands controlled application technique. Smooth evenly from ankle to grip-top with no bunching. Confirm Sensinnov® grip-top sits flat at the thigh. 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 ML sizing with accurate thigh circumference and length measurements before dispensing.
