Gradient compression is a highly effective, clinically proven method of reducing swelling caused by various venous disorders. Gradient compression improves the return flow of venous and lymph fluid. This prevents the pooling of fluid in the venous system, lymph system, or interstitial spaces.

For venous insufficiency:

• Increase the tissue pressure underneath the stocking.  This helps balance the flow of fluid across the capillaries of the limb resulting in reduced swelling.
