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.
