Medical Compression Stockings are specialized hosiery designed to apply pressure to the legs and feet. They help improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, and prevent the formation of blood clots. These stockings are often recommended for individuals with conditions like varicose veins or those who spend long periods sitting or standing.
Available in various styles and compression levels, compression stockings can be worn daily or during specific activities. They are typically made from elastic materials that provide graduated compression, meaning the pressure is highest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. This design promotes better blood flow back to the heart.
