Light Compression

Light compression (10-17 mmHg) is a versatile choice, highly effective for preventing travel-related DVT on flights and managing the aches that come from prolonged standing or sitting. For individuals aware of early-stage issues like minor swelling or spider veins, this level provides the necessary therapeutic pressure for management. This level offers a noticeable yet comfortable pressure for those needing a bit more support than everyday hosiery, and is great for both prevention and addressing mild symptoms.

What is mmHg?

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.
