Support and Comfort for Your Legs

The Importance of Compression Stockings

Compression stockings are specially designed hosiery that provide graduated pressure to your legs. This pressure helps improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and alleviate discomfort associated with various conditions. Whether you’re managing chronic venous disorders, recovering from surgery, or simply looking to improve leg health, compression stockings can be an essential part of your daily routine.

Key Features of Our Compression Stockings

  • Graduated Compression Our stockings are designed to provide graduated compression, which means the pressure is highest at the ankle and gradually decreases as it moves up the leg. This helps promote better blood circulation and reduces the risk of blood clots.
  • Breathable and Comfortable Materials Made from high-quality, breathable fabrics, our compression stockings ensure comfort throughout the day. The materials are chosen for their ability to wick away moisture, keeping your legs dry and comfortable.
  • Various Styles and Sizes We offer a wide range of styles, including knee-high, thigh-high, and full-length stockings, to meet different needs and preferences. Our stockings are available in various sizes to ensure a perfect fit for everyone.

Benefits of Using Compression Stockings

  • Improved Circulation The graduated compression helps enhance blood flow, which can prevent blood pooling and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and varicose veins.
  • Reduced Swelling Compression stockings can help manage swelling caused by prolonged standing, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions by encouraging fluid movement and reducing edema.
  • Enhanced Comfort By providing support to the legs, compression stockings can alleviate the discomfort associated with conditions like varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and post-thrombotic syndrome.

How to Use Compression Stockings

  1. Proper Sizing Ensure you have the correct size for your compression stockings by measuring your legs accurately. This includes the circumference of your ankle, calf, and sometimes thigh, as well as the length from your heel to the top of the stocking.
  2. Putting Them On It’s best to put on your compression stockings first thing in the morning before swelling begins. Roll up the stocking, slide your foot in, and gradually unroll the stocking up your leg. Make sure there are no wrinkles or bunching.
  3. Consistent Wear Wear your compression stockings throughout the day, especially during periods of prolonged sitting or standing. Remove them before bedtime unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider.

Who Can Benefit from Compression Stockings?

  • Individuals with Venous Disorders Those with conditions like chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, or a history of DVT can benefit from the enhanced circulation and reduced swelling provided by compression stockings.
  • Pregnant Women Pregnancy can lead to increased pressure on the veins in your legs. Compression stockings can help manage this pressure and reduce the risk of developing varicose veins or swelling.
  • Travelers Long periods of sitting, such as during flights or car rides, can increase the risk of blood clots. Compression stockings can help maintain blood flow and reduce discomfort during travel.
  • Athletes Athletes can use compression stockings to improve performance and recovery by enhancing circulation and reducing muscle soreness and fatigue.
