Allegro Surgical Weight Compression thigh highs for men and women are an affordable alternative to expensive name brands. They feature a silicone stay-up band, reciprocated heel, and balloon toe. Available with a closed or open toe, these stockings are made with a surgical weight fabric woven with a patented "float stitch" to create a precision gradient support stocking. Superlative compression hosiery does not have to be expensive -- the Allegro brand provides quality comfort and support identical to the famous brands that cost two to three times more. These stockings provide 20-30mmHg of gradient compression and helps improve blood flow, prevent edema (swelling), and reduce the discomfort caused by moderate to severe varicose veins. Made from 75% nylon, 25% spandex in the USA.
