Compression Stockings-
gently healing pressure
The principle is simple:
Oxygenated blood is transported to the legs. De-oxygenated blood is
then transported back up the legs to the heart. This transportation of
blood requires pumps that are powered by the muscles and joints, with
the veins functioning as pipes.
If the veins become enlarged, the flow of blood becomes inefficient.
Compression therapy constricts the pipes to restore adequate blood
transport, thereby revitalizing the legs.
Medical compression stockings are the single most important factor in
treating venous disorders. The aim of treatment is to maintain a high
quality way of life despite an insufficient venous system. Moreover,
compression has the clear advantage in that it does not cause adverse
reactions.
Consistent compression from an
early stage guarantees health and well being
Compression restores the
equilibrium between the supply and drainage of tissues. In arterial
constriction, which disturbs tissue supply, the peripheral arterial
pressure is so low that the tissues are starved; they may be literally
"starved to death". In extreme venous distension, (drainage
disturbances), the pressure in the drain becomes so high that the
tissues drown in the mire.
In venous disorders and lymphatic edema, compression therapy and life
long follow-up treatment is absolutely essential. However, medical
compression stockings are desirable and sensible in cases of situational
venous system abuse, for instance:
* for people who have to sit or stand for long periods
* if the temperature is too high, for example in overheated rooms or
prolonged exposure to the sun
* if the ability or the opportunity to move sufficiently is lacking
as example during pregnancy or long airline flights.
Prevention is the best
protection
What is promoted in sporting,
i.e. protective clothing, should not be refused in everyday life. In
cases where the veins are endangered, preventative measures may avert
possible damage. If the veins are subjected to more abuse than they can
tolerate, compression stockings offer the most useful form of support.
Consistent use of support stockings and medical compression stockings
provide the best protection against the onset and progression of these
symptoms.
The best compression stockings
do not restrict natural mobility
Along with ensuring good health and well being, a good medical
compression stocking makes it a pleasure to move again.
