Advantages and Innovations
All offered socks have unique hygienic features and owing to their antibacterial and antifungal properties, they help remove unpleasant odour. Thanks to a modern production technology which is monitored at all stages, socks are perfectly finished, comfortable and durable. All socks are equipped with soft flat seams or linked seamlessly. The socks also undergo pre-shrinking, which means they will not shrink in the wash. Only the best quality yarns are used in the production process, including natural and synthetic ones. Graphic design is done with the participation of designer from the Academy of Fine Arts. Functional solutions of sports socks have been discussed and tested with the participation of active athletes and sports organisations and projects of medical socks have been developed with consultancy of patients and medical institutions.

The natural yarns used are: cotton, merino wool, bamboo yarn and modern SeaCell® active yarn containing Zink and an extract from sea algae. The synthetic yarns used are: Coolmax®, Thermolite®, Prolen® Siltex (with silver ions), Polyamide and Lycra®. They have unique properties that natural yarns do not have.

Antibacterial and antifungal properties are obtained thanks to license of the Swiss company Sanitized® or Silver or Zink contained in the yarns. All yarns have Oeko-Tex 100 certificates. The Oeko-Tex certificate means high quality level of textile material – they are free from agents, that adversely affect human health. Medical socks are registered as medical devices in the EU.
