Compression Stockings Compression stockings are tight, long socks that provide relief for those with varicose veins. Their most important feature is that they are designed to provide greater pressure near the feet and lighter pressure on the upper legs. This way, the stockings help people with varicose veins pump blood upwards, especially when standing. If used properly, they reduce the swelling, pain, and risk of clots in the legs caused by varicose veins. However, compression stockings are not intended to treat varicose veins; they are used solely to alleviate the discomfort caused by varicose veins. Effects of Compression Stockings Compression stockings are made of a specially elastic material that wraps around the leg and foot. They are designed to tightly wrap the foot and ankle, while being slightly looser around the calf and thigh. This compresses the calf muscles. When the calf muscles contract during walking, the stocking's effect encourages blood to be pumped toward the heart, preventing blood from pooling in the lower abdomen. However, these stockings are not recommended for those with arterial problems in their legs or those with diabetes. When are compression stockings used? Compression stockings can be used for a variety of conditions. They are used to prevent blood clots in the legs for conditions such as varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, postthrombotic syndrome, and lymphedema. However, it's important to understand that these stockings do not eliminate varicose veins; they are only used to reduce or worsen symptoms. Compression stockings can also be used to support the legs during long journeys and long periods of standing. They can be used to prevent blood clots in bedridden patients, those who cannot move much. It is recommended that people with venous insufficiency wear these stockings for life. They should be worn during the day and removed at night. Above-the-Knee Open Toe CCL2 Beige Compression Stocking, Lower Calf Circumference 35-43 cm, Size 4
