Medical Socks
Improved Circulation
Medical compression socks gently squeeze the legs to promote healthy blood flow, reducing swelling and preventing blood from pooling in the lower limbs.
Reduced Swelling and Fatigue
By supporting veins and improving circulation, compression socks help decrease leg heaviness, swelling, and tiredness, especially after long periods of sitting or standing.
Prevention of Varicose Veins and Blood Clots
Consistent use can help manage or prevent varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and other circulation-related issues by keeping blood moving efficiently.

What are medical compression socks?
Medical compression socks are specially designed garments that apply graduated pressure to your legs and feet. This helps improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and support vein health, particularly for those who stand or sit for long periods, travel frequently, or have circulation issues.
Who can benefit from wearing compression socks?
They’re beneficial for people with varicose veins, swelling (edema), poor circulation, diabetes, or those recovering from surgery. Athletes, frequent travelers, and individuals on their feet all day also use them to enhance circulation and reduce fatigue.
How do compression socks work?
These socks apply the greatest pressure at the ankle, gradually decreasing up the leg. This design helps blood flow back toward the heart, preventing pooling and reducing the risk of clot formation or vein-related discomfort.
Are there different levels of compression?
Yes. Compression levels are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Mild (15–20 mmHg) is suitable for general fatigue or travel, while higher grades (20–30 mmHg or more) are prescribed for medical conditions such as varicose veins or post-surgical recovery.
How do I know which compression level or size is right for me?
Proper fit and pressure level depend on your condition and measurements. It’s best to be assessed by a healthcare professional who can recommend the right compression strength and size for your specific needs.
Can I wear compression socks every day?
Yes, they can be worn daily, especially during periods of activity or standing. However, they should be removed at night unless otherwise advised by your healthcare provider. Regular use can help prevent swelling and support long-term leg health.
