In recent years, following the widening press coverage of DVT, there have been a number of efforts to introduce DVT-preventative devices. Recognized by a number of health experts, these elastic compression stockings represent one of the most accessible steps towards the reduction of DVT. By applying a gentle pressure to the ankle, they help blood to flow around the body by squeezing it up towards the heart, which assists the body s circulation. Compression socks exert a gentle pressure one the legs, reducing the diameter of distended veins, and causing an increase in blood flow throughout the body. Unlike traditional dress or athletic socks, compression socks use stronger elastics to create pressure on the legs, ankles and feet. By compressing the surface veins, arteries and muscles, the circulating blood is forced through narrower circulatory channels. As a result, the arterial pressure is increased, which causes more blood to return to the heart and less blood to pool in the feet. The result is relief to tired, heavy legs. • Closed Toe • Regular Length • Reinforced Toe/Heel • Sock Look & Feel • Opaque Material • Knee-Hi
