Graduated Compression Hosiery can help prevent the occurrence of and guard against further progression of venous disorders. Compression hosiery exerts a specific pressure against your legs which reduces the diameter of distended veins. This reduction in size causes an increase in venous blood flow velocity and valve effectiveness. As a result, pain and swelling are reduced.

Compression stockings are specialized long socks, which are worn from the foot to the knee/thigh. These specialized stockings have a gradient of pressure (tighter in the foot and gradually less tight at the knee). These stockings when worn properly reduce the swelling in the feet and also decrease the chance of blood clot formation in the legs.

Compression socks were originally only prescribed to those with poor circulation but now many others find them helpful, such as passengers on long airplane rides or people with jobs that require them to stand in one place for many hours may also wear these socks. Compression socks are also used to speed post-surgical recovery for edema, venous ulcers, phlebitis, varicose veins, spider veins, and deep vein thrombosis. Others who might benefit from compression socks include obese individuals, those who have had a previous blood clot, those who have had a stroke, and those who are bed ridden. Compression socks are also used by athletes to increase their endurance, reduce lactic acid build-up, reduce cramping, and boost overall performance.

Our compression garments can be used to prevent and/or treat conditions such as: tired, aching legs, mild ankle swelling, mild foot swelling, varicose veins, spider veins, mild varicosities, deep-vein thrombosis, lymphedema, phlebitis, economy class syndrome, thrombo-embolic disease, and ecs.
