Compression stockings are commonly used to improve blood circulation in the lower limbs. Modern medical compression stockings, unlike the models of the past, are much more sophisticated and are specially created to provide constant pressure in the legs, helping the blood to circulate back to the heart. As a rule, stockings for varicose veins exert more pressure near the ankles and feet, providing additional compression that encourages blood circulation to the heart.

Compression stockings improve blood circulation in the legs, by compressing the dilated vessels. Depending on the degree of compression, medical stockings appear on the market in several categories:

Light compression, 7-15 mmHg, are ideal for prevention, being indicated for people who spend a lot of time on their feet and who complain of tired, painful or swollen legs. They are also recommended during travel, to prevent venous insufficiency, or during pregnancy;

Class I, 15-20 mmHg (moderate compression), these compression stockings are used in the case of varicose veins and moderate edema, during pregnancy, after a surgical intervention;

Class II, 20-30 mmHG (strong compression), are recommended for acute problems of varicose veins, severe edema, venous ulcer, acute venous thrombosis, dermatosclerosis;

The specialist doctor is the one who prescribes the wearing of strong and very strong compression medical stockings. Light and moderate compression stockings can be purchased without a medical prescription.

Compression stockings exist in a variety of models: unisex, women's, men's, trouser-type, thigh-high or knee-high, with or without adhesive tape, specially designed for pregnant women, in various colors and with different degrees of compression.
