How It Works
1. The stocking is fitted to the leg
Choose the appropriate size based on the manufacturer's sizing requirements. A proper fit helps ensure the intended compression profile.
2. Graduated compression begins at the ankle
The 20-30 mmHg compression level provides the greatest compression around the lower leg and gradually decreases toward the thigh.
3. Compression supports normal blood flow
The controlled pressure helps support the movement of blood through the veins of the legs.
4. Thigh-high coverage extends support upward
The stocking continues above the knee to provide compression throughout the thigh.
5. The grip-top helps maintain positioning
The upper band is designed to help keep the garment securely positioned during normal daily movement.
6. The open toe provides added flexibility
The toes remain uncovered, offering greater freedom and making the garment suitable for people who prefer an open-toe design.
