The function of elastic socks is mainly to exert pressure on the legs, contract the calf muscles, and promote the blood circulation of the legs to return to the heart, thus effectively improving and relieving varicose veins and other diseases, shaping the leg shape and beautifying the body curve.
The working principle of elastic socks is to apply different pressure values in different areas to push blood to run up gradually. The highest pressure value is found at the ankle, which is reduced to 70%-90% at the calf and 25%-45% at the thigh. The pressure decreases from bottom to top, and the blood pushes the operation from bottom to top. Suitable for working people who stand for a long time, people with poor blood circulation in their legs, people who stay in bed for a long time and so on.
First-class low-pressure elastic socks, pressure value 15-20mmHg, preventive elastic socks, suitable for health care and prevention of varicose veins and thrombosis.
Secondary medium-pressure elastic socks, with a pressure value of 20-30mmHg, are initially therapeutic elastic socks and are suitable for patients with early varicose veins.
Secondary high-pressure elastic socks, with a pressure value of 30-40mmHg, belong to moderately therapeutic elastic socks, and are suitable for patients with obvious varicose veins of lower limbs and symptoms such as swelling, numbness, itching, cramps and pigmentation in their legs. It can also be used for patients with varicose veins during pregnancy and patients recovering from varicose veins surgery.
Three-grade high-pressure elastic socks, with a pressure value of 40-50mmHg, are severe therapeutic elastic socks, and are suitable for moderate patients such as leg ulceration, skin blackening and hardening, lymphedema and the like caused by high swelling of lower limbs and venous congestion.
Elastic socks also have a variety of choices, including socks, stockings and pantyhose, which can be reasonably selected according to their own situation. At the same time, elastic socks also have the function of abdomen contraction and shaping, which can flatten the abdomen and lengthen the legs. In addition to the therapeutic effect, the physical effect is not small.
