About Stockings and Compression Wear.

How to decide which products are right for you.

In compression therapy, effective treatment relies on graduated compression garments, where pressure decreases from 100% at the ankle to 40% at the thigh. This design optimizes blood and lymphatic flow, reduces swelling, and manages conditions like venous insufficiency and lymphedema. By applying higher pressure at the ankle and progressively decreasing it up the leg, these garments prevent fluid pooling, promoting natural circulation and enhancing therapeutic benefits.

Compression Levels

Measured in mmH, compression levels range from 10-15 mmH (light) to 30-40 mmH (firm). Higher levels offer greater therapeutic benefits.

Light

(10-15 mm Hg) Minor swelling, energizing legs, ideal for long periods of sitting or standing, and travel.

Mild

(15-20 mm Hg) Minor swelling, spider veins, tired legs, DVT prevention, and minor varicosities.

Moderate

(20-30 mm Hg) Moderate swelling, tired legs, DVT, moderate varicosities.

Firm

(30-40 mm Hg) Moderate to severe swelling, edema, lymphedema, severe varicosities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Handi Customers about Stockings & Compression Therapy

Why are my compression garments so tight?

Graduated compression-wear garments are engineered to assist the body in its work by encouraging lymph fluid to move out of the interstitial spaces of affected tissues and return to the lymph vessels, for recirculation back toward the heart. Compression garments accomplish this by squeezing the affected tissues, putting pressure on lymph fluid and facilitating its return to the vessels for removal.
