Graduated compression hosiery is a safe, non-invasive medical product with an undisputed history of therapeutic benefits. Graduated compression hosiery is scientifically designed to improve venous blood flow which in turn helps to control swelling, varicosities, leg fatigue and other problematic leg conditions. These stockings are knitted to apply maximum pressure at the ankles with gradually reducing compression up the length of the hosiery.

Many brands of stockings advertised as support stockings are merely stretch nylon - not gradient compression - and therefore do not deliver the therapeutic benefits of gradient compression hosiery. Some of these non-therapeutic "support stockings" can even restrict blood flow and should be avoided.

At Sydney Inner West Vein Centre we stock a great range of Varisan and Therafirm gradient compression stockings and travel socks. We have a variety of sizes, colours, styles (below knee, thigh high) and compression levels. There is a compression level for every type and stage of vein problem. Dr David Jenkins can help you determine the correct compression for your needs.

Pregnant Women please note: There is no need to purchase specific maternity pantyhose. A pair of thigh high graduated compression stockings will be just as beneficial and much easier to wear.
