How does graduated compression therapy help with the management of venous problems?
As a person walks, the contraction and relaxation of the calf muscles around the veins aid in moving blood toward the heart. The external graduated compression of SIGVARIS socks and stockings acts as a layer of muscle by gently squeezing the stretched vein walls together, allowing the valves to close. The vein's cavity is reduced, restoring blood flow to a normal state and aiding overall circulation.

By compressing the limb with graduated compression - strongest at the ankle and decreasing going up the leg - the compression stocking helps the venous return, decreases venous pressure, prevents venous stasis, reduces edema and deterioration of venous walls, and relieves aching and heavy legs by aiding the body in moving blood up the leg against the pull of gravity.

The socks or stockings should be put on at the start of the day and removed before bed to be most effective. Wearing SIGVARIS graduated compression is vital for preventing and treating varicose veins and other circulatory problems.
