Compression therapy is used in the treatment of venous diseases and lymphedema. The aim of the treatment is to maintain a high quality of life despite an insufficient venous system. The type and extent of treatment depends on the severity of the problem and a doctor should always be consulted.
Compression therapy works by applying controlled pressure to the surface veins, keeping their diameter small and forcing blood back into the deep vein system which in turn pushes the blood uphill towards the heart. Stronger compression is applied at the ankle and decreasing up the leg. Improved blood flow aids in the healing of varicose veins, venous leg ulcers and lymphatic problems.

• Ideal for tired, aching legs
• Helps prevent swollen ankles

• Physician recommended for venous insufficiency and lymphedema
