What Types of Compression Stockings are Available?
There are several types of compression stockings, including:
Graduated Compression Stockings: These provide stronger compression at the ankle and gradually decrease toward the top. Anti-Embolism Stockings: Also known as TED hose, these are primarily used for bedridden patients to prevent DVT. Non-Medical Support Hosiery: These provide less compression and are generally used for comfort and mild support.
