Frequently Asked Questions

 Medical compression therapy involves the application of specialized elastic devices, primarily on the limbs, to exert controlled pressure. This compression effectively squeezes the vein walls, enhancing circulation and facilitating the return of blood towards the heart. Furthermore, it diminishes swelling and edema formation by reducing capillary leakage into tissues and aiding lymphatic drainage of interstitial fluid. As a result, medical compression offers substantial alleviation of leg discomfort, including aches, pains, swelling sensations, heaviness, and other venous and lymphatic symptoms. 

 
Compression wear enhances circulation, reduces swelling, and supports lymphatic drainage, providing relief from discomfort, aches, and heaviness in the legs. It also aids in preventing blood clots and improving recovery after physical activity or surgery.
