Why Do We Wear Compression Stocking?
Veins in the legs literally move blood back to the heart through a series of
valves that open and close, with muscle contraction preventing backward flow of
blood. A multitude of problems: age, disease, heredity, overweight, as well as
prolonged sitting or standing can cause these valves to malfunction, allowing
blood to pool in the lower legs. The result is pain, swelling, and stagnation
of the blood.
How Do They Help?
Legwear is scientifically designed to apply decreasing pressure from the ankle
up the leg, This controlled pressure compresses surface veins, keeping them
small and forcing blood to deeper veins in the legs. This process accelerates
the velocity of blood flow to the heart and ends pooling of the blood, thus
assuring healthier feet and legs. Legwear that provides graduated compression therapy is used to prevent mild varicosities and edema, as well as
the treatment of severe cases of chronic venous insufficiency, including the prevention
of the recurrence of venous stasis ulcers.
