Compression Stockings

What are they?

Compression stockings are specialized medical devices designed to exert graduated pressure on the lower extremities. This means that the strongest compression is at the ankle and gradually decreases towards the knee or hip. This stimulates blood circulation and reduces venous stasis - a major cause of swelling, pain and the appearance of varicose veins.

In our MediVaric compression stockings online shop you will find models with different degrees of compression, designed for both prevention and therapy of venous and lymphatic diseases. They are made of selected materials that combine strength and comfort for long wearing.

When and what are they used for?

Varicose veins represent a chronic venous disease in which normal venous circulation is impaired. This leads to blood stasis, swelling, pain and characteristic bulging of the saphenous veins. Over time, the condition can progress and lead to more serious complications.

It is because of these risks that wearing compression stockings prophylactically or when a problem has already occurred is extremely important. Their main purpose is to protect against and relieve the symptoms of varicose veins through properly distributed compression. This puts pressure on certain parts of the leg and provides improved venous outflow to the heart.

They are mainly used for:

• Chronic venous insufficiency;
• Varicose veins;
• Lymphedema;
• Postoperative recovery;
• Prevention of prolonged standing, sitting or travelling;
• Pregnant;
• Active sports people.

We advise you to start using them at the first symptoms of: pain, heaviness in the legs, throbbing, tingling, burning and swelling. We strongly believe that prevention is the best form of treatment.

How do compression stockings actually help?

The mechanism of action is related to directing venous blood from the periphery to the heart by external compression. This leads to:

• Edema reduction;
• Improve blood circulation;
• Prevention of thrombosis;
• Relieve the sensation of heaviness, burning and pain.

Due to the correct pressure distribution, compression stockings improve tissue trophicity and support skin regeneration in chronic venous insufficiency.
