Compression Stockings

Compression stockings are specially designed hosiery that apply gentle, graduated pressure to your legs and ankles. This helps improve blood flow, reduce swelling, prevent blood clots, and relieve discomfort caused by conditions like varicose veins, lymphedema, and chronic venous insufficiency.
They are used for both medical and preventive purposes β€” from post-surgery recovery to everyday use during pregnancy, travel, or long shifts on your feet.

Why Use Compression Stockings?

  • Improve circulation and prevent blood pooling in the legs
  • Reduce risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • Ease pain, heaviness, or tired legs
  • Help manage leg swelling (edema)
  • Support healing post-surgery or injury
