What is compression? What is the difference in compression?

You wear compression stockings to improve blood flow in your legs. Compression stockings gently squeeze your legs to move blood up your legs. This helps prevent leg swelling and, to a lesser extent, blood clots

What does mmHg mean?

MmHg stands for "millimeter of mercury", a way to measure pressure. The higher the number, the tighter the garment will squeeze and the more compression it provides

Are the stockings/socks sold in pairs, or individually?
All of our garments come in pairs (two socks or two stockings) except where otherwise noted. If the product you are looking at is called "...Stockings" or "...Socks" (plural), then you know it is a pair. Each sock or stocking is not specific to a right or left foot unless otherwise noted

Who can benefit from wearing compression stockings?
Anyone's legs can feel better while wearing gradient compression stockings, especially if you spend a lot of time sitting, standing or in a sedentary position. Gradient compression stockings are most beneficial for the following leg complaints:

• Tired, aching, heavy feeling legs
• Leg swelling
• Varicose veins
• Venous insufficiency
• Post-thrombotic syndrome
• Healed venous ulcers
• Active venous ulcers
• Lymphedema

We recommend that you consult with your doctor before wearing compression stockings 20 mmHg and above. If you have arterial circulation problems, please consult with your physician before wearing any level of compression

What is compression therapy?
Compression therapy refers to the benefits gained from using specialized stocking or bandages to manage chronic venous insufficiency and lymphedema. Fatigue, heaviness and aching legs are common complaints

Gradient compression stockings are the standard of care in the management of chronic venous insufficiency and lymphedema. Compression provides two primary benefits

Perhaps the most important effect is that compression increases the pressure in the tissue under the skin (subcutaneous) helping to reduce and prevent swelling. The compression of subcutaneous tissue helps move excess fluid (swelling) back into the capillaries (tiniest of the blood vessels) and helps prevent too much fluid from leading out of these little vessels

Secondly, compression reduces the ability of the superficial veins in the leg to expand and overfill with blood. This in turn helps prevent blood in these veins from flowing backward and causing congestion. Congestion in the leg accounts for the leg complaints, swelling, and skin changes common with venous insufficiency

I have latex allergies. Can I still use compression stockings?
Latex is a natural substance that comes from the rubber tree. Latex can be used in textiles in two forms: Dry natural rubber and natural rubber latex

Most Jobst garments are latex-free. The elastic used is a synthetic spandex

Can I wear one compression stocking on top of the other instead of wearing a higher compression stocking?
Yes, there is an additive effect with compression stockings. For example, some doctors instruct their patients to wear on level of compression in a pantyhose style and then wear a knee-length compression stocking over the compression pantyhose

Should I wear stockings on the unaffected leg?
Only the leg with the symptoms or disease needs to wear the compression stocking. Some people prefer to wear compression on only the affected leg. Others may opt to wear the same brand of stocking but in a lower compression level on the unaffected or healthy leg. For example, your doctor may have told you to wear a 30-40 mmHg stocking for the chronic venous insufficiency present in one leg. You may choose to wear a 15-20 mmHg on the other leg

My knee length stockings cut into the back of my knee. Would a shorter length help?
The band of a correct fitting knee high should stop about two finger widths below the crease of the knee. Most times if a stocking is uncomfortable at the knee, it is due to overstreching the fabric while pulling on the stockings. If this occurs, evenly redistribute the fabric downward on the leg using rubber gloves. There should be no wrinkles in the stockings. If redistributing the fabric does not solve the problem, you may need a petite or short size

With the warmer weather, I have experienced a rash on my skin that is exposed to the silicone band on my thigh high stockings. What causes this and what can you suggest to prevent and help heal the rash?
The rash most often results from the entrapment of moisture between the silicone and the skin. During warmer weather or physical exertion, the skin sweats. The moisture on your leg cannot evaporate due to the presence of the silicone, thus becoming trapped

Treatment is symptomatic - cooling and drying the area - avoiding conditions that induce sweating are the best approach. Over-the-counter corticosteroid lotions can be used. However, changes in the environment (cool/dry air) and lighter clothing are often more effective

To help prevent the rash from occurring, make sure the skin is clean and dry before donning the stockings. It is also important to wash the stockings after each wearing to remove any skin oils and cells that collect on the stocking and band

If the rash continues, discontinue wearing stockings with a silicone band until the warm humid weather changes. You should consult with your doctor if you have drainage from the rash or the rash persists

Can I use lotions and creams with my compression stockings?
If the stocking is latex free, it is perfectly safe to use lotions or creams. In fact, it is especially important for people with lymphedema or venous insufficiency since daily skin care and moisturizer is so important. Applying lotion at night will make donning the stockings easier. If the stocking contains latex (some of the Jobst SupportWear), do not use lotions or creams. Heat, ultraviolet light, copper containing products, hydrocarbons and all petrolatum containing creams and ointments affect garments that contain natural rubber latex yarns

What is lymphedema?

Lymphedema is an abnormal collection of high-protein fluid just beneath the skin. This swelling, or edema, occurs most commonly in the arm or leg, but it also may occur in other parts of the body including the breast or trunk, head and neck, or genitals

What is sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a procedure designed to improve the appearance of your varicose veins

What is orthostatic hypotension?

Orthostatic hypotensionalso called posturalhypotension is a form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down. Orthostatic hypotension can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded, and maybe even faint

What is Deep Vein Thrombosis?

Deep vein thrombosisis a blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body
