specialized hosiery, designed to help prevent the occurrence of, and
guard against further progression of venous disorders such as edema,
phlebitis and thrombosis. Compression stockings are elastic garments
worn around the leg, compressing the limb. This reduces the diameter of
distended veins and causes an increase in venous blood flow velocity and
valve effectiveness. Compression therapy helps decrease venous
pressure, prevents venous stasis and impairments of venous walls, and
relieves heavy and aching legs. Knee High Compression Hose are used not
only to help increase circulation, but to also help prevent the
formation of blood clots in the lower legs, as well as aiding in the
treatment of ulcers of the lower legs”
