4. What is Compression
Hosiery?

5. • Compression hosiery is a type of legwear that applies
graduated pressure to the legs, from the ankle to the thigh
• The pressure is strongest at the ankle and gradually
decreases as it moves up the leg, helping to improve blood
flow and prevent swelling and other complications
• Compression hosiery can come in different strengths
or levels of compression, measured in mmHg, such as 15-
20mmHg, 20-30mmHg, and 30-40mmHg
• The choice of compression strength depends on the
medical condition and the severity of the problem

6. How does
Compression
Hosiery work?

7. • Compression hosiery works by creating a "gradient pressure"
that helps to move blood from the feet and ankles back up to the
heart
• By applying pressure to the veins and muscles, compression
hosiery helps to prevent blood from pooling or refluxing in the legs,
reducing the risk of blood clots, varicose veins, and other problems
• Compression hosiery also helps to support and stabilize the
leg tissues, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing mobility
• In some cases, compression hosiery may be used as part of a
larger treatment plan, such as after surgery, during pregnancy, or for
long periods of sitting or standing
