Answers to Many of the Questions everyone has about Compression Hosiery

Answer to questions many people have concerning the need to use Graduated Compression Hosiery, including Anti-Embolism (TED Type). This explains some of the underlying causes of insufficient blood flow in the legs and the relief which can be obtained by the use of Graduated Compression Hosiery.

Due to the fact that the legs are farthest from the heart, and blood flowing back to the heart must work against gravity; blood circulation to the legs is often affected when people spend long hours on their feet, or as they get older. Even simple things such as sitting behind a desk all day long can cause constriction of the blood vessels. This may all lead to the formation deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) – the development of blood clots in the leg. The high altitudes and cramped positions commonly experienced during air travel also encourage the development of these clots. The results of using Graduated Compression Hosiery can be almost immediate as circulatory improvement reduces the bloods "pooling effect" and swelling in the lower leg.

All Graduated Compression Hosiery, including Anti-Embolism (TED type) compress the surface veins of the legs in a graduated, controlled manner. This temporarily reduces the size of the surface veins and forces blood into the deep vein system within the leg. It has been clinically proven that applying graduated compression to the legs can increase blood flow in the deep veins, improving circulation and providing relief for painful symptoms.
