Why Medical Compression Stockings Matter

Medical compression stockings provide graduated pressure to improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and prevent blood clots. They are essential for patients with varicose veins, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), lymphedema, and post-surgical recovery.

Types and Compression Classes

  • Class 1 (15-21 mmHg) — Mild support for tired legs, mild varicose veins, pregnancy
  • Class 2 (23-32 mmHg) — Moderate support for pronounced varicose veins, post-sclerotherapy
  • Class 3 (34-46 mmHg) — Firm support for severe venous insufficiency, lymphedema
  • Class 4 (49+ mmHg) — Extra firm for severe lymphedema (by prescription)

Benefits of Wearing Compression Stockings

  • Prevent blood clots during long flights or bed rest
  • Reduce leg swelling and discomfort during pregnancy
  • Speed recovery after varicose vein surgery
  • Manage chronic venous insufficiency symptoms
  • Reduce risk of post-thrombotic syndrome
