support hose
Support hose, also known as compression stockings, are tight-fitting, stretchy socks or stockings that gently apply pressure to the legs and ankles, aiding in blood circulation and reducing swelling and discomfort caused by certain conditions such as varicose veins, spider veins, or edema. They can also help prevent blood clots. The pressure is highest at the ankles and gradually decreases as it goes up the leg, assisting in venous return. Support hose often require a doctor's prescription, though lighter versions are available over-the-counter.
