Compression stockings or hosiery are elastic garments that apply external pressure to the lower limbs to promote better venous flow. They work alongside your calf muscles to direct the blood back to the heart and lungs. Stockings can be used as a means of preventive care or as a therapeutic aid to manage venous disorders.
They are designed to reduce fatigue, relieve swelling, improve blood flow and tissue oxygenation, and optimize comfort. A doctor may prescribe compression hosiery for a number of conditions/lifestyles;
● Prolonged sitting or standing
● Pregnancy
● Menopause
● Swelling in the lower limbs
● Venous insufficiency
● Varicose & spider veins
● History of DVT
● Recent surgery, trauma or disease
