2 BOOK AN APPOINTMENT Please be aware that for all Sigvaris Medical compression garments Surgical House staff require the garment wearer to attend a fitting appointment to ascertain the measurements and compression rate required for the garment. Fitting appointments are available between 8:30 and 10:30am Monday to Friday and must be booked ahead of time. Please phone us on to organise a suitable date and time for your fitting which will be done on site at our showroom. Why SIGVARIS? Surgical House stocks an assortment of SIGVARIS products designed to fit your lifestyle. These products can help improve your circulation, increase your energy and aid in keeping your legs healthy. SIGVARIS graduated compression is medicine you wear Patients who benefit from graduated compression include: People who stand or sit for long periods of time daily People who have been prescribed anticoagulants People who travel Women who are pregnant People who have had a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) People who experience swelling in their legs and feet People with varicose and/or spider veins Surgical House is a SIGVARIS Certified Fitter and can help you determine which SIGVARIS product is right for you.

3 TOP 6 : LEG HEALTH TIPS Try a few of the following tricks, they really make the difference! You will be surprised by how easy it is to keep your legs in great shape. Play Your Part in Keeping Your Legs Healthy: 1. Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time. Our circulation improves with physical activity, so GET UP! Take a short walk, climb stairs, or make an effort to move around the office and at home. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing as this may increase leg pain and swelling. 2. Avoid extended exposure to heat. Activities such as sunbathing, hot baths, or using a sauna can cause your veins to dilate and may induce swelling. After a long tiring day, especially during Summer, revitalize your legs with a cool shower or bath and reduce your legs exposure to excessive heat. 3. Elevate your legs. To boost your body s natural circulation, elevate your legs while you are sitting on the sofa or lying in bed at home. At the office, keep a leg rest under your desk. 4. Work out. Regular exercise helps keep your body healthy. Some sports are better for improving circulation, such as swimming, walking, biking and yoga. 5. Control your weight. When you manage your weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise, you are more likely to have less leg symptoms and/or less swelling. 6. Wear graduated compression socks and stockings. SIGVARIS quality compression socks and stockings improve venous circulation to prevent and treat venous problems.
4 LEG HEALTH & TRAVEL More and more people are travelling long distances and having to remain seated for long periods of time. When movement is constrained, the blood circulation in the legs is restricted. This situation can lead to several common symptoms such as heavy legs, leg pain, swollen feet and ankles. These symptoms are associated with the term of the Economy Class Syndrome. The Risk of DVT Prolonged sitting is also a major risk factor for development of phlebitis and thrombosis (blood clot formation). In some cases, blood clots can migrate to the lungs resulting in a pulmonary embolism. The discomfort and risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis applies to other types of long distance travel such as car, train or bus. When remaining seated without moving for over 4 hours, the risk of DVT could be four times higher. A DVT can happen to anyone during travel, regardless of age, weight, or lifestyle. To help relieve the symptoms of heavy legs, leg pain, swollen feet and ankles during travel, wear SIGVARIS graduated compression stockings. Wearing compression stockings can also reduce the risk of developing a more serious condition such as phlebitis, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. SIGVARIS medical compression stockings have been proven to prevent symptoms including heavy, tired and achy legs, swelling of feet and ankles. Ask your doctor for information regarding the prevention of DVT and other venous problems during travel. SIGVARIS Travellers Tips: Wear comfortable clothing and shoes Move your feet and ankles every 30 minutes, e.g. 10 flexs and 10 circles Take a short walk every two hours Avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol Wear SIGVARIS medical compression stockings to prevent symptoms and swelling

7 SIGVARIS MEDICAL Heavy and tired legs and swollen ankles, beside skin changes, can be signs of a chronic venous disease. Around 15% of the population even suffer from chronic venous insufficiency, a serious disease with real clinical consequences. Wearing compression stockings and garments is central in the treatment of venous disorders. Benefits of Compression Therapy Graduated compression hosiery is the most effective in preventing oedema or swelling. It also alleviates leg pain and heaviness and contributes to prevent spider veins or varicose veins. It reduces the risk of acute conditions during long distance travel by increasing circulation and the function of the venous system. Products Compression therapy is a cornerstone in the treatment of venous disorders and diseases of the lymphatic system. Compression therapy is also used to prevent venous thrombosis. SIGVARIS Medical Products, prescribed by your doctor and correctly fitted, may positively improve the health of your legs by reducing venous symptoms and improving the venous blood flow.
