Over the year, various styles and designs of compression stockings have been developed. These specialized compression stockings can be worn just below or above the knee. First designed for use in hospitals, these stocking are now widely available for everyday use outside the hospital. Unlike the olden days when the stockings resembled thick and unattractive socks, the latest stockings are extremely attractive and aesthetic looking.
The major function of these stockings is to promote increased circulation of blood in the lower legs and prevent blood clot formation. The stockings are designed in such a way that they have a gradient of pressure which is greater in the foot and less as one goes above the leg.
