Vein
Care - Compression stockings
Compression stockings help
relieve the discomfort of varicose veins,
post sclerotherapy and DVT (deep
vein thrombosis) and also diminishes swelling
of the lower legs.
Medical compression hose have
greater compression at the ankles and gradually
less and less going up the calf. By constricting
the diameter of veins, the stockings increase the
velocity of blood flow. This avoids the sluggish
flow that is conducive to clotting. The compression
also helps keep fluids in circulation instead of
collecting in the lower legs, causing swelling.
Compression stockings are
not recommended for people with poor circulation
caused by arterial insufficiency.
