The human foot is our foundation. Our sense of well-being depends on the condition of our feet. When our feet are comfortable, and we feel no pain or pressure, we are happy and joyful. If we add increased microcirculation, which ensures all foot cells are better nourished, our feet will regenerate better, allowing us to reach the highest level of foot comfort. Impaired circulation can be caused by bodily ailments, body structure, or wearing socks that constrict vessels and block natural blood flow. Most people have sensitive and delicate feet, and their discomfort translates into our daily frustration. Reflexa medical socks provide the highest level of foot care and comfort available. The socks have been developed with attention to every detail, the quality of which can be felt in the daily comfort of your feet.

All Reflexa medical socks can benefit the feet through increased circulation and oxygenation.
The main task of Reflexa medical socks is to increase microcirculation and oxygenation. Increased microcirculation leads to faster transport of oxygen to cells, which results in faster regeneration.

Thin non-binding socks are suitable for everyday use, have a classic thickness, and are recommended for the spring/summer season and for wearing with footwear. Thick non-binding socks are slightly thicker and have been additionally equipped with a soft sole; this model of socks is highly appreciated for neuropathy, cold feet, and is often chosen as a model for improving comfort, for home use, or for sleeping. The comfort and feeling of warmth in the thin and thick socks are comparable. Non-binding knee-highs are a model of the thick sock, only extended in length to reach the knee.
Medical ankle-support socks are socks with a specialized construction that wraps around the ankle. These socks are intended to hold and support the ankle. These socks are recommended for people who have previously needed to bandage their ankles to prevent them from turning during movement. Special stitching stabilizes the ankle.
Compression knee-highs are pressure knee-highs that, through additional pressure, redirect circulation from the foot upward.
