Firm Compression Core-Spun Socks Core-Spun by Therafirm Socks offer Firm Compression (30-40 mmHg) but with the look of an everyday sock. Core-Spun socks are easier to don and more comfortable to wear. Improve circulation, prevent moderate swelling, and relieve tired, achy legs and feet!
Gradient Compression True gradient compression stockings improve blood flow. Core-Spun by Therafirm Support Socks are designed to deliver a controlled amount of pressure which is greatest at the ankle of the garment and gradually decreases toward the top of the stocking. This gradient pressure promotes better circulation and helps to control swelling and leg fatigue.
Core-Spun Yarns
Core-Spun yarns are made by twisting fibers around an inner fiber, creating one yarn. This process is used to enhance strength, durability, and stretch comfort. Core-Spun Support Socks, an innovation by Therafirm, consist of spandex as the “core yarn” with moisture wicking yarns as the “sheath” of twisted yarns around the elongated core. The result is a support sock that is ultra-stretchy, easier to put on, and more comfortable to wear.
