Usage:
These stockings are primarily used by individuals at risk of developing blood clots due to immobility or recovery from surgery. They are commonly recommended for hospital patients, post-operative individuals, and those with limited mobility. These stockings provide graduated compression, meaning they are tighter around the ankle and gradually decrease in pressure up the leg. The compression helps to improve blood flow, reduce the risk of clot formation, and alleviate swelling and discomfort in the lower legs.
