Description
Travel socks are light compression stockings worn to reduce heaviness and swelling in the legs during journeys spent sitting still for hours. The pressure is graduated: it is highest at the ankle and decreases up the calf, and supporting the upward return of blood in this way is the basic principle behind this product group. The product record gives the compression as 18–22 mmHg, which corresponds to the light compression class and is the usual range for non-prescription travel socks. They are chosen for long flights and coach journeys, and by people who stand or sit for long hours at work. Size should be selected by measuring ankle and calf circumference — the wrong size is uncomfortable and also disrupts the graduated pressure. Anyone with known vascular disease, diabetes or circulatory problems should consult a doctor before using compression stockings.
