Class 1 Compression stockings are the first or lowest level of compression in medical-grade stockings. It provides a moderate compression of 18-21 mmHg.
Compression stockings apply graduated compression to your legs; this means that they are tightest around the ankle and then this tightness progressively reduces going up the leg. This structure enhances blood circulation, supports the veins, and prevents blood from pooling in the legs. Medical compression stockings are the gold standard in the management of venous disease and lymphatic disease. They’re also an excellent option if you are at high risk of developing these conditions and want to prevent their occurrence.

They can be used as a preventive measure and to manage mild venous insufficiency symptoms. Suppose you suffer from certain medical conditions such as peripheral arterial disease, congestive heart failure, advanced peripheral neuropathy, or rheumatoid arthritis. In that case, we recommend speaking to your doctor before wearing compression of any kind.

How Does This Compression Level Stocking Work?

Class 1 compression stockings are made under strict technical specifications to give precise compression that is ‘graduated.’ The stockings are tightest around the ankle, and then this tightness progressively reduces going up the leg. This structure supports the veins, prevents blood from ‘pooling,’ and helps push the blood back up toward the heart. Class 1 compression stockings are also ideal for preventing any vein-related disorders.
