The Benefits of Support Hosiery

Graduated Compression Hosiery compresses the surface vein at a controlled pressure, starting with the highest pressure at the ankle and reducing gradually upwards, which is meassured in mmHg. 

In varicose veins the blood will pool in the lower extremeties. Graduated Support Stockings will force more blood to the deeper vein system and therefore reduce the pain and swellings (Edema) associated with vein disorders.

About 50% of all men and 70% of all women will develop leg disorders during their lifetime.

During PREGNANCIES:

80% of all women develop varicose veins. It is therefore most important to WEAR GRADUATED SUPPORT HOSIERY during any pregnancy.

Where do I find Graduated Support Stockings? 

You can find Support Hosiery in any Pharmacy or Medial Supply Store in their Surgical Department.

ONLINE are many possibilies, as for instance

our  SUPPORT STOCKING STORE on EBAY
