Choosing the Right Support Our hose provides at least double the support of your typical department store "support hose" and itŐs all classified by the level of support provided, measured as "millimeters of Mercury" or mm/Hg.
Mild Support (8— 15 mm/Hg) Twice the support of regular "support hose," this is the lowest support we offer and is very good for relieving daily leg fatigue and helping to prevent varicose veins. These styles are the easiest to don and come in the widest variety of styles, yarns, and colors.
Moderate Support (15— 20 mm/Hg) The start of truly medical hose, these styles are effective for:
- preventing economy class syndrome
- reducing minor varicose veins and preventing new ones
- relieving swelling in the ankles and legs (edema)
- tired, aching legs
Firm Support (20— 30 mm/Hg) The "workhorse" of medical hose, the styles are:
- Ideal for more severe varicose veins
- Recommended for post— surgical wear
- Treats ankle and leg swelling
- Effective for ongoing treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis
Very Firm Support (30— 40 mm/Hg) This is the highest level of support we offer and should only be used when recommended by your doctor.
