What items were popular in 2011? These are the ten best-selling items in 2011 by unit.

Keep in mind many other items we sell have received customer reviews of 100%.   Most of these highly rated items didn’t make the Top 10 because they are from the more expensive premium lines, and not sold with the same frequency.

Times are tough and Mediven, one of our leading premium hosiery manufacturers, has put time and effort into upgrading their economy line called “Assure”.  The fabric is softer and there are more sizes available.

Assure knee highs and thigh highs are now available in petite lengths, in all three compression levels 15-20, 20-30, and 30-40mmHg.  Petites are even available in the extra-wide calf sizes.

In addition to petite sizing, Medi improved the softness of the Assure fabric and redesigned the foot to make it more comfortable.

The new improved Medi Assure has a reinforced heel & toe for increased durability and can be machine washed and dried.

Medi Assure is for both Men and Women.

Many individuals can’t or won’t wear compression stockings because they can’t get them on. This is especially true with patients who have more advanced disease and require higher levels of compression.

Farrow Medical, Solaris, and CircAid all make ready-to-wear WRAPS that will fit, and can be donned by almost anyone.

FarrowWrap for the calf and foot, is made out of strips of short-stretch fabric, with Velcro closures.  A liner stocking is typically donned first, then the strips are folded over in sequence starting at the ankle.  A  wrap for the foot, and hybrid liner with compression in the foot only are also available.  FarrowWrap is available in two compression levels, Lite (20-30mmHg) and Classic (30-40mmHg).

ReadyWrap Quick-Fit by Solaris mimics traditional bandaging and is made using non-elastic Velcro straps.  ReadyWrap is available for the foot, calf, knee and thigh.  Pieces can be worn individually or together to provide compression from the toes to the groin.

Juxta Lite by CircAid provides dynamic compression, is inelastic, and can be worn day and night.  Compression increases when you are active and decreases when you’re at rest.  A Built-In Pressure System (BPS) can be adjusted to provide 20-30, 30-40, or 40-50mmHg.

If one of these ready-to-wear options won’t work for you, custom wraps are available for every part of the body.  Give us a call at 1-877-545-8585.

Sigvaris recently changed the sizing charts on most of their premium products.  All original sizing is 40% below MSRP but stock is limited, and once they’re gone… they’re gone.  Here’s a small sample of what’s on sale.

Have you ever found yourself in the same room with a pair of unpleasantly smelly feet?  Yuck.  Were the feet yours? Double yuck.  Make note, BrightLife Direct has socks that will tame even the most odoriferous feet.

Foot odor is created by bacterial toxins that thrive in warm, moist, confined conditions, like sweaty socks.  Did you know there are 250,000 sweat glands in your feet?  More than any other part of your body!  Socks obviously come in direct contact with your feet and the fiber composition of a sock can have a direct effect on foot odor.  Synthetic fibers like nylon and spandex can restrict ventilation making the foot warmer and wetter.  Natural fibers like cotton and wool provide greater air flow, but all compression stockings must have some synthetic fibers to provide the needed compression.

Two great solutions for your little stinkers are our Juzo Silver Sole socks and our new Aetrex Copper Sole socks.  Silver and copper have natural anti-microbial properties that kill off the bacteria at the root of the problem.  Aetrex copper socks are relatively new to BrightLife Direct.  In addition to Aetrex compression, we sell their non-binding cushioned diabetic socks, and their athletic socks with cushioned feet and arch support.

As of this writing we have not received any Aetrex customer reviews, but our staff loves them!

As summer fades into fall, leaves begin to change color, and so do the Juzo DreamSleeves and Juzo Soft compression stockings.

When Juzo started their seasonal “dream color” series it was only available in armsleeves and gloves for patients with lymphedema. This year they have added the color options to their “Soft 2000” line of compression knee highs, thigh highs, and leggings.  Sometimes things do change for the better.  Our customers are wearing color like never before.

Please take a look at the 2011 fall colors: Pink, Cranberry, Blueberry, Plum, Chocolate, Cayenne and Jade.  Beige, Black, White, Cinnamon and Chestnut are available year-round.

Falls most popular color according to Juzo…. blueberry.
