Brand New High Quality Professional Grade Graduated Gradient Opaque Compression Stockings Pantyhose 15-20 mmHg Moderate Support
Compression stockings are used to support the venous and lymphatic systems of the leg. They offer graduated compression where maximum compression is achieved at the ankle and decreases as they move up the leg. This compression, when combined with the muscle pump effect of the calf, aids in circulating blood and lymph fluid through the legs.
Choosing Your Compression Range
Most anyone can benefit from mild 8-15 mmHg support hose. They are excellent for use during travel to help keep your legs from getting tired and sore. They are also very well suited to wearers who are on their feet a lot during the day. The mild range of support hose is very well suited for tired achy legs and mild spider veins.
The next compression range is the mildest "medical compression" and it is 15-20 mmHg and considered moderate. This compression range is the first to require leg measurements to get accurate compression. The moderate range support hose are still well suited to most any wearer and are excellent for those who suffer from mild to moderate swelling and varicose veins. This range of support has is also some times used by physicians for treating leg wounds and ulcers as support hose will increase blood flow to wounds and speed healing. If you have leg wounds or venous stasis ulcers see your physician before using support hose.
Firm support hose are 20-30 mmHg and are suited to users with moderate to severe swelling and varicose veins. This compression is also used to treat leg wounds and ulcers as prescribed by a physician.
Extra-firm support hose 30-40 mmHg are appropriate for those suffering from severe swelling, leg pain and varicose veins. These are also used to treat various leg problems as prescribed by a physician.
