These stockings work by applying graduated compression to the legs. This compression helps to:
1. Improve Venous Return: By squeezing the leg tissues and veins, the stockings promote the upward flow of blood back to the heart. 2. Reduce Swelling: The pressure helps to reduce the buildup of fluid in the legs, which can be common post-surgery or during pregnancy. 3. Prevent Blood Clots: By facilitating better blood flow, the risk of blood clot formation is significantly decreased.
