Firm compression (25-35mmHg) is designed for managing significant venous and lymphatic conditions. It provides strong, therapeutic pressure required for treating advanced venous disease, post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), and moderate oedema or lymphoedema. This level should typically be used under medical guidance.
UK | Class 3 | 25-35mmHg |
EU / RAL | Class 2 | 23-32mmHg |
US | Class 2 | 20-30mmHg |
FR / ANFOR | Class 3 | 20-36mmHg |
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.
