Absolute Support provides high quality, medical grade compression at value pricing. Made in the USA, all Absolute Support socks are designed with your health and comfort in mind. Identical to high end brands, we take 4-6 compression measurements at precise intervals between the ankle and end of garment. Multiple measurements guarantee our garments are comfortable and deliver an accurate distribution of the pressure gradient.

Compression knee high socks are specifically made to reduce swelling and promote blood circulation between your heart and your legs. By applying pressure to your calves, these socks provide comfortability and health benefits in a versatile and customizable way. Stockings that rise to just below the knee help limit lower leg swelling due to fluid buildup. They may also help prevent venous ulcers and can prevent the development of blood clots in the leg — especially if used after surgery or when you may be inactive for a while.

Opaque: The term “opaque stockings” is used to describe hosiery that tends to be non-translucent Opaque stockings are usually about 50 deniers or higher in weight, thus achieving its thick appearance. Opaque stockings can be made from a variety of materials, including nylon. Opaque stockings combine outstanding functionality with an especially soft and pleasant feel. Their refined opacity discreetly hides blemishes while effective moisture management and ease of donning support everyday comfort. As you might imagine, a sheer is going to be a bit more breathable than an opaque stocking. An opaque is wonderful for cooler months when you want the extra warmth. An opaque stocking will effectively hide very pronounced varicosities or unwanted sunspots, while the sheer will cover your legs, but still mildly expose your skin.

The 30-40 mmHg range is known as extra firm compression and is used to treat moderate to severe medical conditions, including chronic venous insufficiency, edema, and varicose veins. While these stockings may look like socks, they are used to treat serious medical conditions. These socks improve circulation and relieve the painful symptoms associated with chronic venous insufficiency. For people with no specific leg conditions, 30-40 mmHg compression socks can be a terrific way to reduce swelling and edema and can even help reduce the risk of DVT. Many women also wear compression socks as a preventative measure when they are pregnant, and these are the most common types used for women with varicose veins. They can also help improve blood flow and help prevent fatigue and venous insufficiency. If you have any questions about the benefits of 30-40 mmHg compression, ask your doctor or a compression specialist. When choosing a pair of 30-40 mmHg compression stockings, consider the size of your legs. Remember that a large number of styles and materials are available.
