Compression Stockings
Compression stockings are strong elastic stockings that squeeze your leg to prevent excess blood from flowing backward and pooling in your veins.
Compression stockings are used for the following purposes:
- To relieve pain and swelling and help heal skin ulcers caused by varicose veins
- To manage lymphedema (limb swelling due to fluid buildup) in the legs
More information about varicose vein treatment is available on the Society for Vascular Surgery website.
