Sigvaris 18-23mmHg vs 23-32mmHg: Which Do You Need?

Technical Comparison: Sigvaris RAL Class 1 vs Class 2

Choosing the right compression level is critical for therapeutic success. In Australia, the RAL standard is the benchmark for clinical precision.

RAL Class 1 (18-23mmHg)

Commonly used for mild varicose veins, tired heavy legs, and DVT prevention during travel. It offers support without being restrictive for daily wear.

RAL Class 2 (23-32mmHg)

Prescribed for more significant swelling (edema), severe varicose veins, and management of leg ulcers. This requires precise fitting and often a doctor's recommendation.
