This compression level is often used to prevent DVT and stasis ulcers, and offers effective relief for swelling and fatigue related to pregnancy, and for postsurgical swelling.ģ0-40 mmHg: This stronger level of gradient support is indicated for severe swelling and pain originating from more severe circulatory diseases and disorders including lymphedema, postural/orthostatic hypotension, venous ulcers, varicose veins, and edema. It mitigates minor swelling, fatigue and pain, and is used for milder circulatory involvement from varicose veins, orthostatic and postural hypotension, post-sclerotherapy, spider veins, pregnancy, and for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention.Ģ0-30 mmHg: This is the most frequently used level of pressure, and is indicated for moderate to severe swelling caused by a host of circulatory issues, including edema, venous insufficiency, varicose veins, lymphedema, post-sclerotherapy, hypotension (postural and orthostatic), and superficial thrombophlebitis. Here is a general breakdown:ġ5-20 mmHg: This lighter level of support is indicated for travel, and for those who sit or stand for extended periods of time. The various gradient compression levels available are designed to treat and/or prevent a host of different circulatory concerns, disorders and disease. Understanding compression levels, features, and product benefits Who needs gradient compression stockings? Lighter, graduated compression (15-20 mmHg) offers gentle support for minor circulatory concerns, such as mild swelling or fatigue, while the stronger compression levels (30-40 mmHg) offer a higher gradient for more severe swelling or pain from serious circulatory disorders, including lymphedema and venous ulcers. This compression action encourages blood to flow more freely which results in less swelling, fatigue, and pain in the legs and feet. The level of gradient pressure varies to more specifically suit different types of circulatory disorders, and is measured in mmHg units of pressure. Gradient compression hosiery provides more pressure or tightness at the ankle, with pressure gradually decreasing as it continues up the calf and leg. Unlike the “support” hose and the dowdy medical “TED” hose of yesteryear, today’s compression hosiery is formulated to offer gradient/graduated compression in attractive, stylish designs. Used by both men and women, compression hosiery reduces swelling and pain in the lower body, and can help treat and prevent a host of circulatory disorders.
