Differences between support stockings, compression stockings and thrombosis stockings

Support stockings for prevention

To be quite clear: support stockings and a support pantyhose are not the same as compression stockings or thrombosis stockings. The most important difference: support stockings are used to prevent venous complaints and are intended specifically for people with healthy veins. They prevent the legs from becoming heavy and tired when standing or sitting for long periods of time as the blood pools in the veins. A special category of support stockings are the so-called travel stockings - the name says it all. Longer trips, especially on airplanes, increase the risk of tired, heavy legs as well as the risk of swelling in the lower leg. You can prevent this by buying and wearing support stockings. Support stockings provide a gentler compression effect without a controlled pressure gradient. Sizing is largely based on height, weight, or shoe size.
