About Gradient Compression
WHAT DOES GRADIENT COMPRESSION HOSIERY DO?
Medical gradient compression stockings improve venous and lymphatic blood flow. Therafirm stockings are designed to deliver a controlled amount of pressure which is greatest at the distal end (ankle) of the garment and gradually decreases towards the proximal end (top) of the stocking. This gradient pressure promotes better venous blood flow which in turn helps to control swelling, varicosities, leg fatigue and other problematic leg conditions.
