Compression Stockings are stylish, light weight and effective. They come in a variety of styles, colors and sizes. So whether you are wearing a casual sock or dress compression sock, no one will know the difference; although, you will be able to feel the difference and provide your legs with a healthier lifestyle.
 Compression Stockings delivers a squeezing to the leg that is tightest at the ankle. The degree of squeezing or compression gradually decreases up the leg.
Probably the most beneficial effects of comp-ression are its effects on the capillaries and tissue spaces.
Compression is believed to increase the pressure in the tissues beneath the skin thus reducing excess leakage of fluid from the capillaries and increasing absorption of tissue fluid by the capillaries and lymphatic vessels. Compression therefore reduces and helps prevent swelling. The  physical presence of the stocking also helps control the size (diameter) of superficial veins beneath the stocking. The stocking does not allow these superficial veins to over expand with blood. This action helps prevent "pooling". |
