These Thuasne compression stockings are ideal for improving the accumulation of blood in the legs. The pressure exerted by these stockings from the ankle pushes the blood and promotes blood circulation. In this way, possible blood clots can be avoided. This type of stockings are mainly indicated to prevent swelling of the legs, to avoid the feeling of heaviness, as well as acute and intense pain in the legs. They are also indicated after varicose vein surgery or after other types of surgery, as the body is usually more inactive after a post-operative period. Their use is also recommended for people who are either prone to or have a family history of thrombosis. Even so, they can be used by all types of people.
