Compression Guide
Compression stockings are a specialized hosiery designed to help prevent the occurrence of, and guard against further progression of, venous disorders such as edema, phlebitis and thrombosis.Compression stockings are elastic compression garments worn around the leg, compressing the limb. This reduces the diameter of distended veins and increases venous blood flow velocity and valve effectiveness.
How to choose the correct compressions socks and stockings
Compression hosiery is used to treat conditions in the legs and ankles caused by a change in the normal blood flow in the legs. It works by compressing against the legs to provide support which helps circulation. The compression is graduated i.e pressure is highest at the ankle and this pressure lessens gradually towards the top of the hosiery which helps blood flow back up the leg. The pressure which stockings provide also treat and prevent oedema (swelling) in the legs. Stockings can vary in the degree of compression depending on what condition the stocking is being used to treat. Below is a guide on how to select the correct stocking for your particular condition as well as a guide to the classification of our medical-grade stockings.
