The SIGVARIS 500 TRADITIONAL Series is the classic among compression stockings and is particularly suitable for men and women who must always wear compression garments, e.g. in post-thrombotic syndrome, chronic venous insufficiency or lymphoedema. Numerous scientific studies have documented the medical effectiveness of 500 TRADITIONAL Series natural rubber quality products. 

The material is largely resistance to fatigue and the highly elastic material maintains a constant level of compression throughout the day.  Therefore, it is recommended for the more serious indications, for long term therapy and to reinforce the benefits of therapy.
