Moderate compression (18-24 mmHg) bridges the gap between preventative care and medical treatment. Garments up to 21mmHg offer robust preventative support for long flights, drives, demanding work, and sports support & recovery. Beyond that, it becomes a medical-grade solution for managing persistent issues like varicose veins and noticeable swelling (oedema). It's the right step up when light support isn't quite enough to keep you comfortable and active.

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.
