Surgical stockings are designed to provide gentle venous pressure in order to improve circulation in the legs, help prevent swelling, and to help prevent blood clots. They are generally used for individuals who will be bed fast for a period of time following surgery, but can be used long term to improve circulation in the legs of people with poor venous return, or problems with swelling and varicose veins.

surgical stockings/ compression stockings help prevent blood
clots, reduce swelling /edema , help a person walk, or stand on
their feet all day, except Teds which are usually only for bedridden or people while hospitalized to keep circulation going.
The compression stocking is tighter around the ankle and pushes
the blood and fluids upward. Get a prescription from the doctor
for the right type of compression and style .They come in knee highs, thigh his and pantyhose for men and women. You might
have to be measured for them. If you buy some, put on first thing
in the morning before you swell up. They can be a big help.

I know that I had bad leg swelling late in my pregnancy so the doctor wrote a prescription for me to get some. He said he also wore them when he was in the operating room to help his circulation during long periods of standing.

Age concern does an particularly solid line in long elasticated drawers. i think of we would desire to continually sue AS for discrimination, because of the fact i'm searching for a strap-on vibrator and that they pronounced they could no longer sell me an electric one, I had to purchase a wind-up one via my age.it is Ageism and anti democratic.We older adult adult males might desire to stand up.
