Description

Compression socks & stockings are used on the legs to provide intervention against pain and achiness, to treat venous insufficiency, embolism, and lymphedema, to manage acute venous illnesses, or to prevent these illnesses, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The intervention consists of a support hose, zippered compression socks or circulation socks that fit over the limb to provide pressure. This pressure constricts the veins, bringing the vein walls and valves closer together, resulting in an increase of blood and lymph flow. The flow increase improves the removal of waste and the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the limbs. Swelling and pain diminish, and the patient feels much better. Medical compression socks for men and compression socks for women are the same in most respects. Compression Socks >>> 50% Instant OFF & No Shipping Charges What Are Compression Socks Used For? The chart below depicts the venous flow of a healthy vein (left), a thrombosis vein (center) and an embolus vein (right). Compressing the veins in the limbs allows the valves in the veins to function to reduce the effects of gravity on the flow of fluid. As the veins dilate, the valves do not operate properly. When the veins constrict, fluid velocity increases and blood flows back to the heart and lungs more normally. Compressa Compression Socks Compression Level Compressa Compression Socks Compression level, measured on the mercury scale, depicts the amount of pressure needed to provide relief, treat, or manage symptoms. For instance, typically anti-embolism stockings provide pressure within the 15 to 20 mmHg range. The most prescribed range by doctors is moderate compression at 20 to 30 mmHg. This range is the beginning of what is known as medical class stockings. The lower ranges of pressure are found to be the least expensive stockings. The higher the pressure level, the more expensive the stockings. Compression Socks >>> 50% Instant OFF & No Shipping Charges Comfort Level Another important factor to obtain patient compliance is the level of patient comfort of Compressa Compression Socks. As the amount of pressure increases, patients complain more about discomfort in wearing socks. Many doctors will prescribe a lower level of pressure stocking to keep patients wearing them. It may be a good practice to wear low-compression stockings early as a preventive measure to keep patients from developing illnesses that will require treatment and management with much higher pressures for acute and chronic conditions. Sizing Compressa Compression Socks and Stockings are available in a wide variety of sizes to meet the needs of individual patients. There are knee-high socks, thigh-high stockings, thigh-high with waist attachment, thigh high with support, pantyhose, and pregnancy hosiery to select. Consult your physician for the best options for you. Length and circumference are the measurements required for proper fitting. Getting the right size contributes to patient comfort and effective intervention. Improper size leads to patient non-compliance. Below are sizing charts displaying important measurements to find the right stocking. Remember that a better fit is better therapy. Choose a stocking that is as close as possible to your actual measurements. The more precise the fit, the more accurate the pressure will be, and as a result--better therapy! Graduated compression is based off of circumference measurements, not shoe size, nor height, nor weight. Any pressure based off of these other mentioned measurements are not considered proper therapy for correcting damaged veins.
