Extra-firm compression (35+ mmHg) delivers a high level of clinical pressure for severe and complex conditions. It is prescribed for managing advanced lymphoedema, severe venous ulcers, and other serious vascular issues. Due to its strength, this level of compression must always be used under the direct supervision of a healthcare professional.
EU / RAL | Class e | 34-46mmHg |
US | Class 3 | 30-40mmHg |
mmHg stands for 'millimetres of mercury,' a standard unit for measuring pressure. In compression hosiery, it indicates the level of pressure the garment applies to your leg. A higher mmHg number corresponds to a higher level of compression. It is crucial to choose the correct mmHg for your needs, and you should always consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
