Maxis Micro Knee High Medical Compression Stocking + Silicone Topband Black are crafted from a unique blend of Microfibre, consisting of polyamide and Lycra. This material is free of natural rubber, which can be prone to brittleness and crumbliness, resulting in an inconsistent yarn that is more challenging to manipulate and can detract from the visual appeal of the stockings. Additionally, there is no use of cotton, known for its ability to absorb and retain moisture, as well as containing pesticides and producing an uneven yarn that can cause colour fading. Maxis' choice of fibres produces a smooth and uniform yarn, ensuring ease of use and optimal results.
