You can benefit from Jobst® compression hosiery whether you suffer from tired aching legs because you spend too much time standing or sitting, or suffer from more serious problems like swelling and venous disease. Standing and sitting for long periods of time can cause your legs to ache and feel tired. Blood pools at the ankles and has hard time returning. Jobst® 8-15 mmHg SupportWear gradient compression stockings give a gentle squeeze at the ankles and up the legs to get your blood flowing back toward your heart. This helps relieve that tired achy feeling in your legs.Build-up of fluid in the body's tissues, often occurring in the lower leg and ankle, is called swelling or edema. Although painless, swelling may be caused by some medications, injury, vein problems, heart problems or other reasons. Prolonged swelling should not be ignored, as it may be a sign of serious disease or chronic venous insufficiency.
Symptoms of edema:
- Enlarged ankes and calf (lower leg may appear puffy)
- Discomfort or tired legs
- Decreased mobility (leg may feel heavy)
- Decreased skin elasticity
Mild swelling is often managed with 15-20 mmHg compression. Moderate and severe swelling may require higer compression. Please consult with your physician. Varicose veins can be mild to severe. They are caused from the backflow or pooling of blood in a damaged vein. They may occur as the result of heredity or develop during pregnancy.
Symptoms of varicose veins:
- Bulging veins
- Aching and discomfort in the leg
- Leg heaviness and fatigue
- Inflammation of a superficial vein
20-30 mmHg is the most commonly selected level of compression for varicose veins. The compression level that is best for you will be depend on the severity of your symptoms. Please consult with your physician.
A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, partially or completely blocking the flow of blood. A long-term side effect of DVT may be one or more damaged venous valves that allow backward flow of venous blood. Improperly functioning valves lead to venous congestion in the leg, increasing the risk for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and new DVT.
30-40 mmHg knee length compression stockings are prescribed to manage the acute symptoms of DVT and to help prevent the long-term effects.
WEARING COMPLIANCE
It is important to wear your compression garments everyday. Compression stockings and sleeves manage an on-going problem. When you remove your compression garment the condition responsible for your symptoms is still there. Failure to wear your stockings or lymphedema garment may cause your condition to become more severe.
CARE
Hand or machine-wash with warm water and mild soap or detergent, or Jolastic® Washing Solution. No chlorine bleach. Warm water rinse. Hang or lay flat to air-dry. May dry in a dryer on low heat or delicate setting. Placing your stockings in a mesh laundry bag will help protect them during the wash cycle.
REPLACING YOUR GARMENT
The elastic fibers of your compression garment stockings will break down with wear. Proper care will increase the "life" span of your stockings, but you will need to replace your stockings or sleeve at about every 3-6 months depending on how often you are wearing and how you are caring for your garment. As a general rule, if your garment becomes easy to put on, it probably needs to be replaced.
