Compression stockings are specially designed to apply pressure to your lower legs, helping to maintain blood flow, and reduce discomfort and swelling. They are made, snug-fitting, stretch socks that gently squeeze your leg. Graduated compression or pressure stockings are tighter around your ankle and get looser as they move up your leg.
Compression Level:
Mild: 8-15 mmHd, Helps relieve minor swelling of feet, ankles, and legs. Ideal for long hours of traveling or standing on your feet.
Moderate: 15-20 mmHd, During pregnancy, helps prevent varicose veins and spider veins.
Firm: 20-30 mmHd, Helps in treatment of moderate to severe edema or lymphatic edema.
Extra Firm: 30-40 mmHd
"Firm" gradient stockings (20–30 mmHg and 30–40 mmHg) should generally be worn only on medical advice.
Diabetic socks are specially designed socks to reduce pressure in the lower leg and foot and prevent blistering on the skin surfaces
These socks are typically non-elastic and seamless. The non-elastic feature is to prevent constriction due to common feet swelling tendencies. The seamless design is to minimize friction to the nerves and minimize neurological discomfort and pain. These socks simply fit well to prevent restrictions in the calf from a tight sock line that can limit circulation.
All of our diabetic socks have all these features to protect your feet and provide maximum comfort.
