JOBST® 8-15 mmHg SupportWear gradient compression stockings give a gentle squeeze at the ankles and up the legs to get your blood flowing back toward your heart. This helps relieve that tired achy feeling in your legs.

Build-up of fluid in the body’s tissues, often occurring in the lower leg and ankle, is called swelling or edema. Painless swelling mayMLW_copy be caused by some medications, injury, vein problems, heart problems or other reasons. Prolonged swelling should not be ignored, as it may be a sign of serious disease or chronic venous insufficiency.

Symptoms of edema:
Enlarged ankles and calf (lower leg may appear puffy)
Discomfort or tired legs
Decreased mobility (leg may feel heavy)
Decreased skin elasticity

Mild swelling is often managed with 15-20 mmHg compression. Moderate and severe swelling may require higher compression. Please consult with your physician.

Remember to talk with your doctor or health care provider before wearing compression 20 mmHg and greater.

Varicose veins can be mild to severe. They are caused from the backflow or pooling of blood in a damaged vein. They may occur as the result of heredity or develop during pregnancy.MLW_copy

Symptoms of varicose veins:
Bulging veins
Aching and discomfort in the leg
Leg heaviness and fatigue
Inflammation of a superficial vein

Remember to talk with your doctor or health care provider before wearing compression 20 mmHg and greater.

Damaged valves in the veins can cause blood to pool in the leg and lead to swelling and discomfort. This condition is called chronic venoused587cf322 insufficiency, and can lead to skin damage and leg ulcers.

Symptoms of CVI:
Varicose veins
Daily swelling of the leg
Skin color changes around and above the ankle region
Dermatitis

A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, partially or completely blocking the flow of blood. A long-term side effect ofed587cf322 DVT may be one or more damaged venous valves that allow backward flow of venous blood. Improperly functioning valves lead to venous congestion in the leg, increasing the risk for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and new DVT.

30-40 mmHg knee length compression stockings are prescribed to manage the acute symptoms of DVT and to help prevent the long-term effects.

Remember to talk with your doctor or health care provider before wearing compression 20 mmHg and greater.

The chronic backup of blood due to unhealthy (incompetent) valves allows blood to pool in the lower leg, causing swelling. Chronic swelling interferes with the nutrition and oxygen supply to the skin. The skin becomes dry, flaky and darker in color. The skin is fragile and easily breaks with minor trauma, forming an open wound, slow to heal.ulcercare_box1
