Medi Compression Socks, Black, Class 2 Compression

Product Description

Medi Duomed Class 2 compression socks (23-32 mmHg) provide an economical yet highly effective solution for managing venous disorders in the lower extremities. These socks offer an optimal balance of quality, comfort, and price.

Indications

• Varicose veins (including during pregnancy)
• Varicophlebitis
• Post-phlebosclerotherapy compression therapy
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis in high-risk individuals

Mechanism of Action

These compression socks work by improving venous circulation through several key mechanisms:

• Enhanced Muscle Pump: Compression of intramuscular venous plexuses and perforating veins significantly increases the propulsive capacity of the calf muscle pump, reducing venous pooling in the lower extremities.
• Improved Venous Flow: Reduced diameter of superficial and deep veins improves the function of the venous valves and increases venous blood flow velocity.
• Reduced Edema: Increased tissue pressure promotes resorption of extracellular fluid in the venous end of the capillary and reduces filtration at the arterial end, leading to edema reduction.
• Increased Fibrinolytic Activity: Enhanced production of tissue plasminogen activator improves blood rheology.
• Improved Lymphatic Drainage: Increased lymphatic flow facilitates the removal of excess fluid from tissues.

Contraindications

Absolute Contraindications

• Chronic occlusive arterial diseases of the lower extremities (regional systolic pressure on the posterior tibial artery below 80 mmHg)
• Severe diabetic polyneuropathy and angiopathy
• Decompensated cardiopulmonary insufficiency
