Medical Support Sock – A Truly Fashionable Option

Futuro redefines support hosiery with the relaunch of Beyond Support, offering sufferers of leg fatigue a more comfortable, fashionable option when choosing medical support hosiery to improve circulation. Futuro Beyond Support, a medically-proven support hosiery, is now available in a sheer, silk weave with an attractive lace panty. It is the first of its kind to provide a more fashionable look while ensuring comfort and relief for people who suffer from tired, achy legs, ankle swelling and minor varicose veins.

Our new support hosiery is made with ultra sheer, soft and silky materials so consumers can look and feel comfortable at all times, said Donna Sepulveda, Associate Brand Manager, Beiersdorf, Inc. Fashion support hosiery does not provide effective relief for consumers, while medical support hosiery, in the past, did not offer the look consumers want. Now we have combined both relief and style in our new Beyond Support line.

The Importance of Leg Health Many people don't realize how important it is to maintain healthy legs and to take preventative measures at the first signs of leg fatigue. Leg fatigue may be a sign of more serious leg health problems such as spider veins, varicose veins, swollen ankles and even blood clots. Support hosiery is a treatment as well as a preventive measure. It relieves tired, achy legs by working with the body to improve circulation, and it can ultimately help to improve overall leg health.

Benefits of Graduated Support Futuro Beyond Support uses mild, graduated support to combat tired, achy legs, varicose veins and swollen ankles. Beyond Support is specially designed to deliver graduated support where legs need it the most. The highest amount of support is applied at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. This design is medically proven to gently massage the legs and encourages blood flow back from the legs and feet to the heart and lungs.

Medical support hosiery is available in different degrees of support to meet the needs of the consumer. Futuro Beyond Support with mild support is ideal for tired, achy legs and slight ankle or foot swelling.

Although some traditional fashion hosiery products also provide leg support, it is often distributed evenly throughout the leg rather than using true graduated support, said Sepulveda. Fashion support hosiery also provides lower levels of support than medical support hosiery, rendering it less effective in aiding circulation.

Who Should Wear Support Hosiery? While support hosiery benefits anyone with tired, achy legs, it is especially important for people with occupations that require long periods of standing to consider support hosiery a necessary part of their wardrobe. Nurses and teachers are just a few examples of such occupations. Finally, thanks to Futuro Beyond Support, this necessity doesn't have to mean ugly, uncomfortable thick-mesh stockings.

Futuro Beyond Support meets the consumer's physical and fashion needs, said Sepulveda. Support hosiery is essential for those who have occupations that work the legs, and now the new, stylish design of Beyond Support gives people the confidence to wear support hosiery everyday to enhance their active lifestyle.

Futuro Beyond Support comes in a variety of colors and styles for a broad range of consumers, including the plus size consumer. Styles available are knee-highs, pantyhose and trouser socks. Proper sizing and fitting of Futuro support hosiery is essential in order to obtain optimal benefits, therefore consumers should refer to the back of the packaging to find the right size.
