How does Graduated Compression Therapy work?
The concept of compression therapy lies on a simple and efficient mechanical principle consisting of applying an elastic garment around the leg.By compressing the limb with graduated compression (strongest at the ankle and decreasing going up the leg), the compression stocking helps to return blood back towards the heart (venous return), decreases venous pressure, prevents venous stasis and impair of venous walls effectively preventing the formation of varicose veins. In addition, graduated compression stockings act to relieve tired, achy, and heavy legs.
Who should wear Graduated Compression Socks and Stockings?
In essense, most people. This treatment is prescribed by a physician to treat phlebitis, thrombosis, vein surgery aftercare, and to relieve and prevent all manifestations of chronic venous disease (heavy legs, achy legs, varicose veins, oedemas, leg ulcers..). It can also be prescribed to prevent venous troubles during pregnancy and long distance travel.
Compression Classes and Treatment options
Compression stockings are available in different degrees of compression depending on the severity of the pathology to be treated. The pressure exerted by a compression stocking at ankle level is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
Depending on the pathology, medical compression therapy can be applied in different forms: socks, stockings and pantyhose.
The current new textures and fashion designs of SIGVARIS® compression products make compliance with the treatment much better and efficient.
