Use Cases
True Graduated Compression™
This is the most effective form of compression, offering a medically designed gradient-level of support. True Graduated Compression™ or pressure stockings work by creating precise amounts of pressure at different parts of your legs & feet for optimal circulation. Typically tighter at the ankles and looser, going up the legs to help blood flow freely instead of pooling.
