From knowing about varicose socks to wanting to buy and seeing all kinds of elastic socks, the price ranges from tens to hundreds or even thousands of dollars, which really makes people wonder where to start! Which one suits me? This is also the biggest headache for many buyers. Take a look at the following contents to help you sort out the purchase steps: 1. First of all, why did you buy medical elastic socks? Is it necessary to treat varicose veins or relieve varicose veins or stovepipe? Let's talk about symptoms first. For patients with varicose veins, we should pay attention to the following points: (1), pressure selection. Patients with one of the following symptoms can choose therapeutic first-class pressure (20-30 mmHg): * Heavy feeling and fatigue in legs * Mild varicose veins during bad pregnancy * Mild varicose veins without obvious edema * Prevention of thromboembolism and embolus in patients who can't move * Prevention of economy class syndrome. Optional therapeutic secondary pressure (30-40mmhg): * Varicose veins with severe varicose veins during pregnancy * Varicose veins with mild edema * Chronic venous function after thrombophlebitis and deep phlebitis * Successful sclerotherapy or postoperative maintenance treatment * Cure of venous ulcer in patients with chronic venous insufficiency * Orthostatic/postural hypotension * Prevention or treatment of deep venous thrombosis and post-thrombotic syndrome after basic treatment * Shallow and deep thrombophlebitis * Chronic venous insufficiency * Sclerosing agent treatment and postoperative consolidation, patients with one of the following symptoms can choose therapeutic three-stage compression (40-50mmhg): * Significant varicose veins with obvious edema * Late chronic venous insufficiency * Edema after healing of severe varicose veins * Progressive chronic venous insufficiency * Recurrent leg ulcer healing * Post-traumatic edema * Recoverable lymphedema (2), length selection If the patient only suffers from varicose veins below the knee, wear elastic socks. If patients also have symptoms above the knee, they need to wear long pants or pantyhose. (3) Brand selection: genuine elastic socks, clinical therapeutic medical elastic socks, varicose socks and imported medical elastic socks, with many brands, low prices and guaranteed quality, which can be purchased with confidence; The first choice for medical care of leg diseases is antithrombotic, leg shaping and stovepipe socks. Want to know more, you can contact me! (4) Number selection Measure the circumference of the leg: the circumference of the ankle (the thinnest part of the ankle), the thickest circumference of the calf and the largest circumference of the thigh, and determine the appropriate number according to the size table. Then let's talk about the choice of elastic socks by people who love legs and thin legs: there are two kinds of elastic socks on the market now, one is Dennison and the other is mmHg. Denny Denn is an industrial standard, which refers to the knitting density of socks, and mmHg is a medical standard, which indicates the pressure value of socks. It can only be said that the higher Denny Denn number means that this sock is thicker, which does not represent the pressure of socks, and it is not certain that it is a medical elastic sock; The higher the mmHg of medical elastic socks, the higher the requirements for materials. Therefore, the greater the strength of medical elastic socks, the higher the grade and the thicker the socks. Medical elastic socks are a kind of elastic socks with sequential decompression. The pressure at the ankle is the tightest, and the more it goes up, the looser it becomes. The ankle is thicker and thinner as it goes up; Therefore, it is a misunderstanding that some patients pursue the tightness from top to bottom. If you wear stovepipe, the effect of wearing medical elastic socks is better than that of ordinary slimming socks. It is enough to wear a first-class pressure (20-30mmhg) to slim down. Instead of choosing the one with the highest number of Danny, the better! ! Be careful! Let's talk about how to distinguish medical elastic socks from general elastic socks: 1, tiled appearance: the general elastic socks are straight up and down, and the medical elastic socks have obvious curve design of human legs, with a streamlined design with wide upper part and narrow lower part. 2, thickness: ordinary elastic socks are a thickness from top to bottom, medical elastic socks are the thickest at the ankle, the thinner the better. 3. Pressure Ordinary elastic socks are a kind of pressure from top to bottom. The tighter and looser the ankle of medical elastic socks, the decompression design. According to these three points, we can easily tell the difference between them. And be sure to communicate with the seller before buying, so that the owner can help you see if it is the best for you. Of course, the seller can't listen to anything now. Some people really don't know anything, so they try their best to get customers to buy it, whether it is the most needed or the most suitable. Skinny legs are not guilty, long live beautiful legs
