Elastic stockings Elastic stockings create external pressure to the feet and legs. As a result, a balance between the internal high pressure, caused by the failed venous valves, and the external pressure achieved by the stockings, is maintained. Elastic stockings prevent the swelling of the legs, reduce pain and help prevent the development of complications as a result of the vein disease.
Elastic stockings should be supplied according to a doctor’s prescription, which includes information on important parameters such as pressure level, height, etc.
