TOFLY Medical Compression Stockings, 20-30 mmHg Knee High Compression Socks

Product Information

The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of ECS with different pressures (15-20 mmHg and 20-30 mmHg) in individuals working in different prolonged postures (sitting, standing, and combination). reported that calf-length ECS with a pressure range between 11 and 21 mmHg can reduce or totally prevent OE in individuals with a profession requiring long periods of sitting or standing.

She has written about podiatry products many times, so she knows how to look for products that offer true symptom relief. The highest BMIs referred to individuals in the STD and COM groups, indicating that this variable may not have had an effect on the findings. We believe that symptomatic patients with significant venous reflux may progress to chronic venous disease. If you have venous disease or edema, you may want to aim for compression socks with 30 to 40 mmHg of compression—and if you need more than that, your doctor can prescribe even firmer socks.But when that short period of time involved any kind of exercise, we were impressed by the deep compression they provide around the calves and the perfect amount of flexible support we felt in the heels, ankles, and feet. In testing, we liked that the Wellow socks offered the right support and didn’t overheat under our sweatpants (hello, work-from-home people! The different occupational positions, sitting, standing, and a combination of both, affect the evolution of LL edema during the course of the day. Results of this study firstly confirmed the presence of measurable OE consequent to prolonged sitting, standing, or combined postures over a working day, as well as the efficiency of the ECS to significantly reduce this OE. They come in different lengths and tightness, and you can get compression sleeves, which don't have feet.

However, it is not yet clear whether the same compression would be effective for OE in individuals subjected to different prevalent postures over the working day. The findings of this study confirmed that the use of ECS over the working day reduces OE in the different conditions (sitting, standing, and combination) and evidenced that 20-30 mmHg ECS are more effective, especially for individuals working in the prolonged seated position.mmHg is a prescription compression level and is often prescribed by a doctor for treating health conditions such as venous insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and lymphedema. The SIT group was composed of five manicurists, six office assistants, and nine secretaries; all 18 individuals of the STD group were hairdressers and there were five cleaners, one doctor, two physical therapists, and 12 secretaries in the COMB group. In terms of fit and support, the Comrad socks were snug and cozy, stayed in place, and helped our legs feel supported and energized during long stretches of sitting (including air travel).

Comfortable to wear but because they are too short, they tend to ride down to half way up the calf muscle so they certainly don't stay as shown in the pictures. Different levels of compression are needed for different conditions or uses; someone who spends a lot of their day standing may only need light, supportive compression, while someone with spider veins or edema may need to look for socks with heavy compression. Valjee says that unless a doctor has advised you otherwise, it’s best to start with the lightest amount of compression and work your way up from there if you’re not satisfied. With light support of 10-15 mmHg, these socks are easily mistakable for extra-comfy knee-highs (except for the circulatory benefits, which we felt as we tested). The gradual pressure technology enhances elasticity, So they will be tight when wearing for the first time, it is by design.These socks have a 20-30 mmHg compression level that is ideal for all-day, everyday wear, sitting or standing for long periods. If your calf measures between a wide calf and standard calf size, we recommend trying the standard calf size first. Because of the difficulty in selecting healthy individuals willing to participate in this kind of study, our sample was not randomized, and demographic/clinical variables could not be controlled, thus imposing an important limitation on this study. The plus side to the minimal compression is that we never once felt the need to take them off at the end of the day.
