Graduated Support Hosiery

Graduated support stockings are designed to help improve blood flow in the legs and feet. Our support stockings deliver a controlled amount of medically-correct graduated compression, which is greatest at the ankle and gradually decreases towards the top of the stocking. This gradient pressure promotes increased blood flow in the legs and feet, which helps energize tired legs and feet, reduce varicose veins and helps prevent and treat swelling of the ankles and legs.


Support Levels

Finding the support level that is right for you is essential to maximize the benefits of graduated support. Therawear offers four levels of support--Light, Mild, Moderate, & Firm. The key below is designed to be a basic guide to graduated support levels. Always ask your physician first if graduated support is right for your specific health condition.
