TOFLY Medical Compression Stockings, 20-30 mmHg Knee High Compression Socks

Product Information

By “high-level compression,” we mean those that generally range from 20-30 mmHg to 30-40 mmHg; while these strengths are generally safe to wear, certain individuals may be at risk of harm due to contraindications, so the oversight of a doctor is always recommended. We believe that the immobility of the LL in the prolonged seated position results in worse phlebologic conditions, since the lack of movements of the ankles negatively affects the functioning of the calf pump.

People with a previous injury in the lower extremities, who are diabetic or pregnant, and people with venous insufficiency tend to have consistent swelling throughout the day, says Dr. According to their prevalent occupational positions during the working day, they were divided into three study groups: seated position (SIT), standing position (STD), and a combination of sitting, standing, and walking in similar proportions of time (COMB).

On the first day, when individuals did not use ECS, the mean volumetric measurements taken at the end of the working day were significantly higher than those in the morning for all posture groups. They can also lower your chances of getting deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a kind of blood clot, and other circulation problems. You shouldn't wear compression socks if you have severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) because it makes the blood vessels in your legs narrow, reducing your blood flow. The only potential drawback to these socks is that they didn’t wash up quite like new, and we noted some inconsistencies in the fabric after laundering them.

Some mention that they are easier to put on and take off at the end of the day, while others say that they're difficult to put and may need assistance to put them on for the first time. They do seem to have used a slightly thinner material but no issue for me as I live in an hot climate. It's important to note that some of our more complex designs do have stitching on the inside that some say makes the sock feel tighter or harder to put on. They did require some effort to get on, but they stayed in place well and never felt overly restrictive.Although with prolonged standing, the LL are not moved much; they are not as immobile as in the SIT group as movement is needed to maintain the standing position, and thus the calf-muscle pumps are activated to some extent promoting reductions of the distal venous pressure.
