What does compression tricot mean?
Compression hosiery one of the basic means for preventing varicose veins, as well as an essential element of surgical treatment and sclerotherapy.
The mechanism by which the compression hosiery therapy works is based on precisely calculated and graduated pressure on venous walls. Compression stockings of different length and tights form an additional casing supporting veins and protecting them from excessive extension. Pressure exerted on veins reduces their lumen. This results in accelerating the speed of venous drainage and prevents forming of thrombus.
The compression of soft tissue of lower leg prevents leg swelling, fatigue and muscle pain. The compression of venous wall supports venous valves and prevents the blood pooling.
Distribution of compression
Distributed amount of compression is one of the factors ensuring the medical efficiency of compression stockings: 100% at the ankle, 70% at the calf and 40% at the upper part of thigh. As a result, the compression gradually diminishes from ankles with max compression towards thighs thus causing more blood to return to the heart.
