Compression Stocking Contest
SIGVARIS, a large manufacturer of compression therapy equipment, has chosen a winner from their Life for Legs Compression Therapy Contest. The contest was held through the month of March and the winner was recently chosen from the entries. The goal of the contest was to promoted educational awareness for DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
"Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism affect an estimated 350,000 to 600,000 Americans each year. Together, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism contribute to at least 100,000 deaths each year. More people die from DVT complications in the US each year than breast cancer, motor vehicle accidents and AIDS combined" stated the article by PR Inside.
Companies, such as SIGVARIS, are taking the steps to educate the public about DVT through contests, videos, websites, and brochures. The winner was a man from the Bronx, New York, who has been wearing compression stockings for years and showed the most support for the SIGVARIS product lines.
