COMPRESSION STOCKINGS
What are Compression Stockings?
Compression Stockings remain fundamental and vital for the prevention and treatment of varicose veins and lymphatic disorders in ambulatory patients. The stockings will slow the process of developing more and worse varicose veins but will not eradicate them. In addition, regular wearing of elastic support stockings will relieve swelling, pain, soreness, cramps, improve calf muscle pump function and reduce progression of venous disease.
Compression stockings work by reducing the amount of blood and pressure inside superficial and deep venous systems of the legs. To be effective patients should wear stockings at the start of the day and remove them prior to going to sleep.
Compression stockings are used post sclerotherapy of small and medium size varicose veins. After the solution is injected the stockings are put on to keep the veins collapsed sticking together eventually turning into scar tissue which will fade away. Medical compression stockings are 20 – 30 mmHg or higher and are used for chronic venous insufficiency, edema, venous stasis ulcer, dermatitis and post treatment of varicose veins including EVLT and surgical procedures.
