Supporting Your Clients: Compression Products

January 1, 2006 by HME Business

Activa® Men’s Microfiber Dress Socks are knitted with ultra-fine microfibers for a soft feel and comfortable breathability. The firm 20-30 mmHg support relieves leg fatigue, swelling in the ankle and foot as well as mild varicosities. An attractive pin stripe pattern makes the socks ideal to wear to work. Available in black, gray or tan. Visit www.activehosiery.com or contact FLA Orthopedics for more information.

Graduated compression hosiery exerts an external pressure that is greater at the ankle and reduces at the calf and thigh, increasing the blood velocity within the deep venous system.


Simple lightweight compression supports help provide stability and circular compression to control swelling and retain warmth to soothe stretched or weakened muscles and tendons, which aids the healing process. Some people also use compression as a conservative “reminder” to help protect and prevent re-injury to a weakened joint.
