Compression therapy - graduated external pressure
|
Compression therapy is the application of graduated external pressure to the limb to reduce venous pressure within the limb.
Blood flows faster in compressed veins than in dilated ones. By applying external compression, the diameter of the veins is reduced, thereby increasing blood velocity. This also causes valves which are not regulating blood flow well to function better.
When using compression hosiery, make sure the compression is graduated, with the strongest pressure at the ankle and decreasing as it goes up the leg. Graduated hosiery is the most effective in preventing edema or swelling, and in promoting better blood circulation.
Saunders Skin Vein carries Compression Stockings by SIGVARIS offering many styles, including half length, thigh-hi, and maternity pantyhose which are ideal for prevention and management of various levels of venous conditions.
