What are the benefits of wearing compression hosiery?

Safe, non-invasive, effective and inexpensive treatment.
Scientifically designed to regulate blood flow velocity through the feet and legs.
Maximum pressure applied at the ankle systematically decreases up the hosiery length, keeps proper venous flow in the legs.
Prevents back-flow and stagnation of blood in the lower legs that can cause clotting and heaviness.

What compression level do you need?

Mild Compression 8-15 mmHg

Mild compression helps relieve achy, fatigued legs, minor varicose or spider veins and helps reduce minor swelling.

Moderate Compression 15-20 mmHg

Moderate compression is a great starting point for anyone wanting to wear compression hosiery and socks. It's most commonly used for people who travel and it's also beneficial for people who experience achy, fatigued legs, minor varicose or spider veins as well as minor swelling. This level of compression is also beneficial to use before or after vein procedures and can help reduce the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis ( DVT).

Firm Compression 20-30 mmHg

Firm compression can help people who suffer from symptoms of lymphedema, moderate swelling , moderate varicose or spider veins, mild venous insufficiency and can also be used to aid in prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Extra Firm Compression 30-40 mmHg

Extra firm compression is used to aid in the treatment for more serious conditions such as Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) and Deep Vein Thrombosis ( DVT). This level can also be used to help relieve moderate to severe lymphedema symptoms, active or post venous ulcers and can be used for pre and post vein procedures.

Measuring Tips

Measure first thing in the morning when swelling is minimal.
Make sure the measuring tape is firmly across your skin without causing a depression.
Keep measuring tape level on the widest part of your limb.
