Venous compression

Venous compression includes textile devices and systems designed to exert a defined pressure according to their construction. Medical socks, stockings and tights differ in coverage, dimensions and pressure level. This function is distinct from simply retaining a dressing. Pharmacy teams can describe format, measurements, stated pressure and textile construction without choosing a compression class for an individual situation. Stretch, appearance and nominal clothing size are separate characteristics rather than interchangeable descriptions of a medical compression device.
