Important Considerations Before Buying Compression Socks
Compression level: One of the critical factors in selecting the right compression socks is determining the appropriate compression level, these are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and vary from mild (15-20mmHg) to moderate (20-30mmHg) to firm (30-40mmHg). The choice of compression level depends on the severity of the condition and the recommendation of a healthcare professional.
Length: Compression socks for nurses are available in different lengths to cater to individual preferences and medical requirements. The most common lengths include knee-high, thigh-high, and pantyhose-style socks. Knee-high socks cover the calf and are suitable for many conditions, such as mild varicose veins and prolonged sitting or standing. Thigh-high socks provide extended coverage up to the thigh, great for Deep Vein Thrombosis(DVT) treatment, while pantyhose-style socks offer full leg coverage, used for lymphedema or Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). The choice of length often depends on the location of the condition and personal comfort.
Quality: It's important to prioritize quality over price. Compression socks are often made from a blend of synthetic materials such as nylon, spandex (also known as lycra or elastane), or polyester. These materials offer the elasticity needed for effective compression while maintaining comfort. The material of compression socks plays a critical role in their comfort, durability, and functionality.
