ELASTIC SUPPORT STOCKING

A LP Supports Elastic Support Stocking Size L, LP 957 also known as compression stockings or compression socks, are specialized hosiery garments designed to improve blood circulation in the legs and reduce the risk of various leg-related conditions.
They provide graduated compression, which means the compression is strongest at the ankles and gradually decreases as it moves up the leg.
Here are key features and functions of support stockings:
Support Stockings:
Compression Levels:
Support stockings are available in different compression levels, typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
Common compression levels include mild (15-20 mmHg), moderate (20-30 mmHg), and firm (30-40 mmHg).
The choice of compression level depends on the medical condition or purpose of use. Improved Circulation:
The primary function of support stockings is to improve blood circulation in the legs by helping veins and leg muscles move blood more efficiently toward the heart.
This can help reduce swelling and alleviate symptoms of poor circulation. 
Prevention and Management:
Support stockings are used to prevent and manage various leg-related conditions, including varicose veins, spider veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), edema (swelling), and venous insufficiency.
They are often recommended during pregnancy and for individuals with occupations requiring long periods of sitting or standing.
Post-Surgery and Recovery: 
They are commonly used in post-surgical recovery to minimize the risk of blood clots (DVT) and help the body recover after procedures involving the legs.
Sports and Athletic Performance: Some athletes use compression stockings to improve blood flow during exercise and reduce muscle fatigue.
These are often referred to as sports compression socks. Reduction of Leg Fatigue: Support stockings can help reduce leg fatigue and discomfort, especially during long flights or extended periods of sitting or standing.
Comfort and Style:
Modern support stockings are available in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making them more comfortable and appealing to wear.
Graduated Compression:
The compression is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases as it moves up the leg. This helps push blood upward, preventing pooling in the lower extremities.
Custom Fit: Support stockings are available in different sizes and lengths to ensure a proper fit.
It's important to measure and select the right size for optimal effectiveness.
Ease of Application:
Many support stockings have a reinforced heel, open-toe design, and a comfortable waistband or top band for ease of putting on and taking off.
Consultation:
Individuals with specific medical conditions or those considering the use of support stockings for medical reasons should consult with a healthcare professional or vascular specialist to determine the appropriate compression level and fit.
Support stockings are a valuable tool for improving leg health, managing medical conditions, and enhancing comfort during various activities.
When used as recommended by a healthcare professional, they can play a crucial role in maintaining leg health and overall well-being.
