The ELA Vital Activ 70 tights are 70 Denier tights, comprising 70% Nylon and 30% wrapped Lycra. Support tights with increased wear resistance which are ideal for women starting to suffer from venous insufficiency which may include leg swelling. Gradient compression applied from ankle upwards helps stimulate blood circulation in the legs, brings pain relief, and minimizes swelling. Also, it reduces thigh and buttocks volumes. To boost the efficiency of all these qualities, ELA have applied active cosmetic ingredients to the hosiery in the form of micro-capsules containing Liporeductyl®. This added quaternary compound contains the most effective anti-cellulite ingredients (Caffeine, Ruscus Aculeatus Tea - hydroiodide, Hedera Helix, Carnitine, ESCIN, 6HK) which also help prevent the occurrence of varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis. These tights are ideal for travel and prolonged sitting or standing. They give moderate support of 15-18mm Hg at the ankles, and have an antibacterial treatment to the fabric. They are semi-opaque in appearance, and are extremely comfortable and durable. They have a flat centre seam with a cotton/nylon gusset for extra comfort, with reinforced toes and panty section, and under the soles of the feet. These are a superb quality product.
Available in colours Dark Nude and Black, they come in five sizes; S, M, L, XL & XXL, although some sizes are no longer available. See the Size Chart page for details.
