Compression Knee-High Socks – Healthy Support for Your Legs Every Day

Or perhaps you're noticing the first varicose veins? Act now: compression knee-highs are a simple way to alleviate circulatory problems in the lower limbs and restore comfort. Find out how they work and which type of knee-highs to choose to finally enjoy lightness.

Compression knee-highs – what are they?

Compression knee-highs are a special type of hosiery designed to give your legs lightness, reduce pain, and swelling. They are designed to apply controlled pressure, improving blood circulation and reducing lymphatic edema. This allows you to enjoy better well-being and prevent many problems related to the circulatory system.

How do compression knee-highs work?

Compression knee-highs work on the principle of graduated compression, which is strongest around the ankle and gradually decreases towards the upper parts of the knee-high. This system effectively guides blood to the upper body, preventing swelling and leg fatigue.

Thanks to proper compression, knee-highs also support the work of calf muscles, improving their efficiency and accelerating regeneration after exercise. Additionally, compression knee-highs can also help reduce ailments associated with varicose veins or edema.

Who do we recommend compression knee-highs to?

Compression knee-highs are recommended for all women!

• If you lead a sedentary lifestyle or often work in a standing position, they can help you reduce swelling and the feeling of tired legs.
• They are also excellent for active individuals who play sports, as they improve blood circulation, support calf muscles, and accelerate their regeneration after exertion.
• If you are prone to varicose veins or have circulatory problems, compression knee-highs can be an effective method of preventing and reducing these ailments. However, remember that it is always worth consulting a doctor before starting to use compression knee-highs, especially if you have serious health problems.
• Even if none of the above indications apply to you, you can try compression knee-highs. For healthy women, they simply provide additional comfort.

What are the compression levels of knee-highs?

Compression knee-highs are available in different compression levels, which should be matched to different needs and health conditions. The most popular compression levels of knee-highs available on the market are:

• class 1 (15-20 mmHg),
• class 2 (20-30 mmHg),
• class 3 (30-40 mmHg).
• Class 1 is the mildest compression level. It is usually recommended for people with a weaker circulatory system who want to prevent swelling and leg fatigue.
• Class 2 provides a higher degree of compression - it is recommended for people with varicose veins, a feeling of heavy legs, or edema.
• Class 3 is the highest level of compression and is used in cases of more advanced varicose vein problems, ulcers, as well as during the post-operative period.

How to correctly choose the compression level of knee-highs?

Choosing the appropriate compression level for knee-highs is crucial to ensure optimal support for your legs. It is best to consult a doctor or a specialist in vascular medicine who will assess your health condition and recommend the appropriate compression level.

It is important that the knee-highs are well-fitted in terms of size and do not restrict movement. Before purchasing, it is worth checking the size chart available on the page of each of our products.
