Here are the key benefits of compression stockings for edema:
- Improve blood flow by applying graduated, circumferential pressure to the legs which helps push blood back to the heart. This reduces pooling of blood in the legs.
- Reduce swelling by gently squeezing leg muscles to promote lymphatic drainage and removal of excess fluid from tissues.
- Prevent worsening of edema by maintaining circulation and fluid balance in the legs.
- Improve symptoms like heavy, tired legs and aching muscles caused by fluid build up.
- Allow for improved mobility and less discomfort when standing or walking for people with conditions causing leg edema.
- Provide all-day edema management with proper fitting, medical-grade compression
