elastic stockings Supportive hosiery worn usually to assist in the control of the symptoms of VARICOSE VEINS. The external pressure applied by such stockings must be even and any local ‘tourniquet’ effect avoided. The compression should be greater at the ankle than at the thigh and should be graded along the leg. This requirement is now acknowledged by manufacturers and incorporated into the design of their products. |
