How does graduated compressiontherapy help with the management of venous problems?As a person walks, thecontraction and relaxation of the calf muscles around the veins aid in movingblood toward the heart. The external graduated compression of SIGVARIS socksand stockings act as a layer of muscle by gently squeezing the stretched veinwalls together, allowing the valves to close. The cavity of the vein isreduced, thereby restoring blood flow to a normal state and aiding overallcirculation.By compressing the limb with graduated compression - strongest atthe ankle and decreasing going u p the leg - the compression stocking helpsthe venous return, decreases venous pressure, prevents venous stasis, reducesedema and deterioration of venous walls, and relieves aching and heavy legs byaiding the body in moving blood up the leg against the pull of gravity. To bemost effective, the socks or stockings should be put on at the start of theday and removed before going to bed. Wearing SIGVARIS graduated compression isvital for the prevention and treatment of varicose veins and other circulatoryproblems.
