Activa British Standard Hosiery
The ultimate in comfort, stretch and fit
Historically compression hosiery has been difficult to put on, uncomfortable to wear and unattractive in appearance. Activa, mindful of the needs of prescribers and hosiery wearers alike, was the first company to introduce new designs, yarns and technology. The result is the Queen's Award winning range of compression hosiery that is virtually indistinguishable form ordinary hosiery.
Health professionals have also attributed the wearing of Activa hosiery to increased patient compliance. "This study showed high adherence to treatment with compression hosiery. This could be attributed to the use of Activa stockings which, in the clinic nurses' experience, patients find easier to apply and find higher rates of comfort and aesthetic acceptance"- Journal of Community Nursing, 2001, Volume 6, Number 3.
The hosiery is available in Classes 1, 2 and 3, in a variety of lengths, colours and styles including unisex ribbed socks and tights.
Activa hosiery is available on prescription, however it can be purchased online.
