Why do I need compression hosiery/stockings?
Compression hosiery/stockings provide graduated compression to your legs to improve blood circulation, reduce swelling and aching and prevent varicose veins getting worse. They reduce the risk of blood clots (thrombosis) and leg ulcers. They help prevent the development of long-term leg swelling and ulceration in patients who have had deep vein thrombosis
