Thigh High

The medical compression stockings with fine microfiber elegantly wrap around the legs. The supple material envelops the skin in a pleasantly soft way. The breathable properties of the microfiber promote a pleasant skin climate. The delicate transparency of the fashionable stockings gives the legs an enchanting sheen. That’s how beautiful and versatile compression is!

BELSANA microsoft is made partly with recycled Q-Cycle® yarn. In the production of the polyamide yarn, a raw material from chemically recycled old tires is used at the beginning of the value chain. The fossil raw material required to produce the yarn is replaced by recycled raw material and added to the polyamide using a mass balance approach.

The Q-Cycle® yarn is used partly in our stockings. By wearing these compression stockings, you are giving a hard-to-recycle material a second life and making a valuable contribution to the environment.

Why is Q-Cycle® only used proportionally?
As a compression stocking is not only made from polyamide, it cannot ultimately be made exclusively from the sustainable and recycled Q-Cycle® yarn. Our microsoft quality consists of approx. 42% polyamide, 16% polyamide microfiber and 42% elastane. These values vary depending on the design of the stocking. For a thigh-high stocking with an open toe, the sustainable Q-Cycle® content in the end product is approx. 45%.

Why are our stockings and Q-Cycle® yarn sustainable and environmentally friendly?
Both the recycling of used tires and the production of Q-Cycle® yarn take place in Europe. BELSANA compression stockings are of course knitted here in Bamberg. This reduces long and environmentally harmful transportation routes.

In the manufacturing process of Q-Cycle® yarn, fossil raw materials such as crude oil are replaced by recycled pyrolysis oil. The recycled raw material is added to the polyamide via the mass balance approach. The mass balance approach is explained in the video below.

The Q-Cycle® yarn has ISCC certification. This guarantees that the fossil raw material required for the production of the yarn has been replaced by recycled raw material and added to the polyamide using the mass balance approach.

Medical Compression Stockings (Thigh High) provide graduated compression, which is strongest at the ankle and it gradually decreases as we move up. This controlled and graduated compression effectively stops any abnormal backflow of blood. They compress the outer walls of superficial veins to make them strong and prevent varicose veins.
