What Are Medical Compression Stockings?
Medical Compression Stockings are specially designed garments that apply graduated pressure to the legs to support circulation, reduce swelling and improve comfort during prolonged standing, sitting or recovery.
Medical Compression Stockings provide the greatest compression around the ankle, with pressure gradually decreasing higher up the leg.
This graduated compression helps support venous blood flow and can assist in managing swelling, heaviness and discomfort in selected vascular and lymphatic conditions.
Benefits of Medical Compression Stockings
Potential benefits within an individual rehabilitation plan.
Swelling Control
Graduated compression helps limit fluid accumulation in the lower legs, making it useful for selected patients with oedema or persistent swelling.
Circulation Support
By applying controlled pressure from the ankle upward, compression stockings help support venous return and reduce pooling of blood in the legs.
Leg Comfort
Reduced swelling and venous congestion can help ease sensations of heaviness, aching and fatigue during prolonged standing or sitting.
Daily Support
For patients assessed as suitable, garments may support comfort during periods of standing, sitting or recovery, following an individual wearing plan.
Personalized Compression
Proper sizing and selection of compression level help ensure the garment provides the required support without unnecessary pressure or discomfort.
