Compression Garments

WHY IS COMPRESSION IMPORTANT?

Compression socks and hosiery are important because they can comfort pre-existing conditions such as vein deficiencies, improve blood flow, minimize swelling, and help prevent blood clots. They are beneficial for everyone as they can also help with tired and achy legs.

You can benefit from compression if you are:

Travelling
Pregnant
A post operative patient
Sitting or standing for long periods (ie. Cashier, truck driver, flight attendant, teacher etc.)
An athlete
Diagnosed with DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), varicose veins, orthostatic hypotension etc.

What is lymphedema?

Lymphedema is a condition of localized swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system. It is a protein rich fluid (lymph) pooling in your limbs causing swelling (edema); this can be due to blocked lymph nodes or a complication from a medical treatment/surgery.

How does compression help with lymphedema?

Compression can help by decongesting the affected area, effectively moving the lymph back through the body.

What is lipedema?

Lipedema is a condition primarily found in women, resulting in enlarged legs due to fatty deposits under the skin. The cause is unknown, but genetic and hormonal factors are believed to be involved, inhibiting the regulation of the lymphatic system thus blocking the return of fats to the bloodstream.

How can compression help with lipedema?

Compression can help lipedema by applying pressure to the affected areas, improving blood circulation, reducing swelling and alleviating pain and discomfort associated by supporting the tissues and lymphatic drainage.

Venous Solutions

Compression stockings assist in the therapy management of venous diseases and treatment of varicose veins by helping to improve blood flow and reduce swelling in the affected areas. They are designed to be discreet and can be worn for everyday life, during sport, at the office, or for hiking. Keeping active in your everyday life with regular walking, swimming and cycling can also help maintain the best health for your leg veins.

Pregnancy

compression garments can help to improve your well-being during your pregnancy so that you can get on and enjoy the important things in life.

Medical compression legwear helps to reduce swelling by increasing the pressure in the tissue under the skin. This provides support to your veins and helps prevent them from becoming distended with blood. Plus, it can also help relieve vertigo and nausea.1**

Compression stockings can also help prevent thrombosis, avoiding the need for additional medication – an important factor that reduces unnecessary burden on your baby.
