Frequently Asked Questions

• How do you know what size compression stockings to buy?
  Choose a sock size that will safely fit the largest foot, ankle and calf measurement. Measure at the widest part of the calf. Measure at the smallest part of the ankle just above the ankle bones.
• How tight should compression stockings be?
  Stockings should feel snug, but not painfully tight. Mild compression, with lower numbers, is usually enough to keep you comfortable on your feet at work. You'll need higher numbers with a firmer fit to prevent DVT.
• What are Class 2 compression stockings used for?
  Can be used for various problems like deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Compression Stockings Class II which are of knee length are ideal for flow of the blood back to the heart by exerting maximum pressure at the ankle.
• What is the difference between 15-20 mmHg and 20 30 mmHg?
  15-20 mmHg is used for daily wear, travel, and sports. They help improve circulation without being too tight. 20-30 mmHg is used for sports recovery, daily wear, medical recovery, and to manage mild symptoms of varicose and spider veins. Ideal for patients looking for more support.
• How long to wear class 2 compression stockings?
  Wear them for as long as your standing and sitting then take them off at the end of the day. Wearing them for 6-8 hours is good enough.
• When should I wear compression stockings for varicose veins?
  It's extremely important to put on compression stockings in the morning, before you lower your legs and get out of the bed. Sleeping in a horizontal position makes your vein valves function more effectively than when sitting or standing.
