The extremities are common sites of lymphedema. Compression stockings are medical-grade devices designed to improve the flow of blood and the drainage of lymph in the feet and/or ankles. Compression levels range from mild support, to medium support, to firm compression or extra firm compression. Your doctor will prescribe the right level of compression for your specific needs. Compression levels are measured in millimeters of mercury; this technical detail provides specific information about the degree of pressure exerted by your particular compression products.

  1. Why compression hosiery? The extremities are common sites of lymphedema. Compression stockings are medical-grade devices designed to improve the flow of blood and the drainage of lymph in the feet and/or ankles. Compression levels range from mild support, to medium support, to firm compression or extra firm compression. Your doctor will prescribe the right level of compression for your specific needs. Compression levels are measured in millimeters of mercury; this technical detail provides specific information about the degree of pressure exerted by your particular compression products. By graduating the degree of compression from firm at the foot to somewhat looser at the top of the garment, these specially designed socks and stockings can enhance the flow of lymph. Graduated compression stockings work with your body's natural movements to promote gentle, gradual drainage of lymphatic fluid away from swollen feet. Compression garments work without interrupting proper blood flow to your extremities. https://www.lymphedemaproducts.com/products/co mpression-socks.html
