Compression socks technology for circulation and athletic support

Compression socks function as a ‘second skin’ designed to improve circulation and support muscles during and after physical activity. Unlike conventional or standard athletic socks, compression technology uses a specific blend of materials—typically 40% to 50% elastane (Spandex or Lycra) combined with polyamide or nylon—to distribute pressure evenly while the wearer moves.

In Argentina, the market for these garments ranges from specialized medical use to high-performance sports. Brands such as Sigvaris focus on clinical applications, while Gelform, Sox, Cocot, and Tifox offer various models tailored for rest, running, and cycling.
