How do Sankom Patent Socks Work?
The Sankom® Patent Active Compresson Sock is composed of 4 gradual compression lines, that when pulled one after another will help improve blood circulation:
With each stage venous blood is pushed out into the above-lying blood vein system. The regular repetition of these 4 stages activates the gradual targeted stimulation to improve blood circulation.
FAQ
1. What makes SANKOM Active Compression Patent Socks different from other brands?
SANKOM Active Compression Patent Socks stand out due to our unique blend of innovative technology and premium materials. Unlike other brands, our socks are designed with a focus on both functionality and comfort. Each pair offers graduated 4-steps active compression, optimizing blood flow and reducing fatigue.
2. Can you explain the different levels of compression throughout Sankom Compression Socks?
Our SANKOM Compression Socks are intricately designed to provide varying degrees of compression at different points along the sock to support optimal blood flow and comfort. Here's how the compression levels vary from the foot upward:
- 21 mmHg at the Foot: This firm compression at the foot helps combat the effects of gravity, making it perfect for those who experience significant foot swelling or who stand for long periods.
- 20 mmHg around the Ankle: Slightly less compression at the ankle aids in the upward flow of blood, suitable for everyday wear and for athletes seeking muscle stabilization during activities.
- 19 mmHg at the Lower Calf: As the compression eases up the leg, this level supports calf muscles during daily activities and helps in managing mild swelling.
- 18 mmHg below the Knee: The lightest compression at the top of the sock helps to secure the benefits of the graduated compression without restricting movement, ideal for prolonged wear throughout the day.

4. Can compression socks help with recovery after exercise?
Yes, compression socks are highly beneficial for recovery after exercise. By providing graduated compression, they help reduce muscle soreness, decrease inflammation, and speed up the removal of metabolic waste from the muscles. Wearing compression socks post-exercise can lead to a quicker recovery, enabling athletes to return to training sooner with less discomfort.
5. Are there any medical conditions that benefit from wearing compression socks?
Compression socks are beneficial for a wide range of medical conditions, including varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, lymphedema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention, and post-surgical recovery.
They're also helpful for reducing swelling during pregnancy and preventing leg fatigue and soreness from prolonged standing or sitting. If you have a medical condition, consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate compression level and ensure they're safe for you to use.
