With diabetes, arteries
can become rigid and
blocked and fail to
bring adequate blood,
oxygen, nutrients and
medications to injured
areas of the body. Poor
circulation in diabetics
contributes to numerous
problems occurring in
the legs and feet, such
as slow healing of
injuries, bruising and
damage to the arteries
and nerves.
SeaCell
Socks have multiple
benefits for those
suffering from the
symptoms of diabetes.
They are non-compressive
and non-elastic,
allowing proper
circulation and
preventing blood pooling
in the feet. A unique
knit top means the socks
stay up without
tightness, binding or
marking, whilst the
Lyocell fibre gives the
socks an ultra-soft
handle.
Another condition that
commonly accompanies
diabetes is Neuropathy,
in which nerves in the
feet and legs are
damaged, resulting in a
lack of feeling and
numbness. With these
conditions it is easy
for cuts, blisters or
sores to go unnoticed.
Left unchecked, these
can develop into
calluses and ulcers and
become infected.
Silver has been known to
have antibacterial
properties since ancient
times. The positively
charged silver ions
within the fibre have a
naturally antibacterial
and antimicrobial
effect, inhibiting
microbe growth on the
skin and therefore
guarding against odour
and discomfort.
SeaCell Socks are
constructed from a
Lyocell fibre. These
textile fibres have a
porous, open structure
which has the benefit of
allowing humidity to
pass through the fibre
in both directions.
Seaweed helps to
activate the skin cell
metabolism, ensuring
that the skin remains
fresh, firm, and smooth.
