What is the graduated compression of the tights?

The articles that belongs to the Sollievo line are considered Paramedical because they have a greater compression then the support line. In fact, by the honeycomb structure of the mesh, the pressure occurs in a vigorous and different way, facilitating legs’circulation

The graduated compression of Sollievo tights and knee-highs

The Sollievo 70 knee-high graduated compression:

  • ankle 12,1 mmHg – 16,1 hPa
  • calf 7,4 mmHg – 9,9 hPa

The Sollievo 70 tights graduate compression:

  • ankle 12,2 mmHg – 16,3 hPa
  • calf 7,0 mmHg – 9,3 hPa
  • thigh 5,9 mmHg – 7,9 hPa

The Sollievo 70 tights with back panel graduated compression:

  • ankle 12,2 mmHg – 16,3 hPa
  • calf 7,0 mmHg – 9,3 hPa
  • thigh 5,9 mmHg – 7,9 hPa

The Sollievo 140 tights graduated compression:

  • ankle 20,3 mmHg – 27,1 hPa
  • calf 11,4 mmHg – 15,2 hPa
  • thigh 9,2 mmHg – 12,3 hPa

Technical specifications

With mmHg we mean “millimeters of mercury”, the unit of measure of the pressure.
HPa is the “hectopascal”, the unit of measure of the pressure.
For each compression the Franzoni control quality considers a tolerance of +/- 15%.
