Why wear professional medical comperssion socks?

Wearing professional medical pressure socks (also known as medical elastic socks or varicose vein socks) is to help improve or prevent various blood circulation problems through scientifically designed gradient pressure. The following are its main functions and applicable scenarios:

1. Promote venous blood reflux

Principle: The pressure of socks gradually decreases from the ankle to the leg (the pressure is highest at the ankle and gradually decreases upwards), and with the help of muscle contraction, it helps venous blood overcome gravity and flow back to the heart more effectively.

Applicable situation:

Varicose veins: relieve leg vein dilation, tortuosity, and blood stasis.

Prevention of Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT): Especially suitable for those who sit for a long time, stand for a long time, after surgery, or long-term bedridden patients, to reduce the risk of thrombosis.

Pregnant women: Relieve leg swelling caused by uterine compression on veins during pregnancy.

2. Relieve symptoms and discomfort

Reduce leg swelling, pain, and heaviness: By promoting blood circulation, reducing tissue fluid leakage, and relieving edema and fatigue.

Prevent or improve skin changes such as venous eczema, pigmentation, ulcers (which may occur in severe venous insufficiency).

3. Assistive medical recovery

Postoperative rehabilitation: such as varicose vein surgery and joint surgery, to help control swelling and promote healing.

Lymphatic Edema Management: Some pressure socks can be used for maintenance treatment of mild lymphedema.

4. Improve daily comfort

Long term standing or sitting: Teachers, nurses, office workers, etc. can prevent leg soreness.

Long term travel: reduces the risk of "economy class syndrome" (blood clots during long-distance flights).
