In lieu of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Awareness Month, SIGVARIS a company that sells compression therapy socks is taking action to educate the public about the dangers of DVT. Their initiative is called Life for Legs Compression Therapy Contest, and SIGVARIS will be giving up to $5000 in compression therapy products for people who wear the socks and enlist in the contest.
PR Canada reported on the SIGVARIS press release, “The SIGVARIS Life for Legs contest will run from March 1 - May 31, 2009. Visit http://www.sigvarisusa.com to enter the contest or for more details. As part of the contest's DVT Awareness efforts, SIGVARIS North America is offering complimentary educational materials including a retail poster, a consumer brochure and an online video to help medical product retailers and health professionals advance consumer knowledge of graduated compression therapy in the treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis.”
SIGVARIS alongside a number of other venous disease organizations keeps education and awareness as their main priority to prevent and treat varicose veins, DVT and other variations of venous disease. Vein health is vital to a healthy life, so SIGVARIS promotes and promulgates the use of compression socks during travel and prolonged hours of sitting and standing.
