Comprezon Varicose Vein Stockings are used to manage the symptoms and progression of varicose veins. Varicose Vein Stockings provide controlled compression to the legs to squeeze the veins, thereby ensuring the normal backflow of blood towards the heart.
Varicose Vein Stockings put maximum pressure on the veins at the ankle level and gradually deliver less tension as they stretch over the knee and towards the thigh. The pressure profile that is 100% at the ankle, 70% at the calf and 40% at the thigh. As a result, blood is forced along its natural course up the leg despite the damage to the veins (since a fluid flows from a higher pressure area to a lower pressure area).
Class 1 (18-21 mmHg pressure exerted at the ankle) Stockings are used in conditions such as Mild varicoses without any significant tendency to oedema formation, early varicoses in pregnancy, and feeling of tiredness and heaviness in the leg.
