The key body part that can
benefit from compression
is the lower leg

The Product

Compression explained...

Our medically developed, graduated compression sock is designed using the latest textile technology, and produced under stringent quality control, under the direct guidance of a world leading university.

Socks with GC Tech™ act like a second skin, squeezing blood from the surface veins back into the deep veins and help push blood back up to the heart. GC Tech™ targets the lower leg, boosting the action of the calf muscle, which acts like a second heart by pumping blood around the body. Wearing them changes the way your blood flows, helping your body to be more efficient.

The GC Tech™ socks are designed to be worn daily, as a replacement for your normal socks. They will help your body counteract the strains of a long day, standing/sitting/walking or exercising. Using advanced textile technology they also keep you warm in the cold and cool when it is hot.

They target your lower leg because due to the effect of gravity, this is the key area that can benefit most from the effects of wearing socks with GC Tech™.

Our compression socks are classified by the British Standards Institution (BSI) as a medical aid, that is prescribed as a mechanical method to support the venous and lymphatic systems in the lower leg. They contain GC Technology™, designed to give you maximum compression at the ankle, decreasing further up the leg.

During physical exercise, muscles in the legs contract and expand. The intramuscular pressure exerted on the veins pushes the blood through the one-way valves of the veins, returning it to the heart. This pumping action keeps the blood moving through the lower limbs. The GC Tech™ contained in our socks enhances this muscle pump effect of the calf and influences blood and lymph fluid velocity through the legs.

We are basically assisting your venous system, reducing blood and fluid pooling, improving tissue oxygenation and microcirculation velocity.

Anti-embolism vs GC Tech™

The core technology used in the hospital anti-embolism socks has been enhanced to become graduated compression and work with an active population. The anti-embolism socks were designed for patients lying down for extended periods of time and provide sufficient pressure to prevent blood pooling in the legs.

Our British Standard conforming GC Tech™ Socks are designed for the active person and enhanced for athletes and other sporting individuals.
