Compression Stocking
This is a stocking used to help accelerate lymph drainage while worn. It provides a gradient compression force, with pressure decreasing from the foot, to the calf, and then to the thigh. The pressure ranges from approximately 25 - 16 mmHg (Class I), stimulating lymph fluid to flow back to normal from the lower foot, which has higher pressure, up to the calf and thigh, which have lower pressure, respectively. This increases circulation and prevents fluid from pooling.
It helps reduce foot and leg swelling and effectively relieves leg pain and fatigue. It is suitable for those who have to stand for long periods, travel frequently, or who regularly experience foot and leg swelling. Wearing them makes legs feel light and comfortable to walk in and can also alleviate varicose veins if worn regularly and continuously over a long period.
There are 3 types of gradient compression stockings:
Type 1. Knee-high stockings (price 2,850 Baht)
Type 2. Thigh-high stockings (price 3,250 Baht)
Type 3. Waist-high or full-body stockings (price 3,550 Baht)
And there are 7 sizes (size) as follows: 2S, S, M, L, 2L, 3L, 4L
You can check the size from the gradient compression stocking size chart.
