People who have or are experiencing any of the following conditions can benefit from wearing gradient compression hosiery:

·         Swollen feet, ankles, and legs 
·         Mild to moderate swelling
·         Stand or sit for long periods
·         Overweight

The Therafirm and premium Class 2 compression Varisan brands are medically graded compression wear to assist with swelling and pain management.

Their gradient pressure promotes better circulation to help control swelling and relieve tired and achy legs.

Important points to consider when measuring for compression garments:

 1. Measure early morning if possible when leg is not swollen
 2. If the leg is swollen, elevate the leg for as long as possible before measuring.
 3. The patient should be standing when measured where possible
