Platinum Thigh Length Medical Compression Stockings - Vissco

Compression stockings are designed to help prevent and treat venous disorders. This product works by exerting a pressure on the legs and thereby increasing venous blood flow. It prevents venous stasis and relieves heavy and aching legs. Compression stockings are tightest at the ankles and gradually become less constrictive toward the knees and thighs. By compressing the surface veins, arteries and muscles, they force circulating blood through narrower channels. As a result, the arterial pressure is increased, which causes more blood to return to the heart and less blood to pool in the feet. Best results are observed in the morning, before getting out of bed. Remember to remove all jewelry before wearing the stockings and avoid wearing them at night.
