Facts About Jobst Gradient Compression Hosiery

Gradient compression socks or stockings, such as Jobst Gradient Compression Hosiery, deliver pressure at the ankle that gradually decreases as it extends up the leg, helping to move blood back to the heart. This activity reduces blood pooling in the legs and helps prevent the symptoms associated with “Economy Class Syndrome” (ECS) and the risk for a more serious leg condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
To help prevent ECS and DVT, air travelers should wear medical-grade gradient compression hosiery, such as Jobst Gradient Compression Hosiery, which offers the most accurate fit based on ankle and calf circumferences. Proper fit guarantees delivery of the most precise and effective gradient compression profile to the legs.
A common misconception is that gradient compression stockings must be made of thick, unattractive fabric that is difficult to put on, in order to be medically effective. Unlike compression stockings or socks from the past, Jobst Gradient Compression Hosiery is made of sheer, attractive fabric, offering women and men fashionable hosiery and socks for business and casual dress in a variety of easy-to-wear styles and colors. Jobst Hosiery offers consumers an effective yet economical and fashionable solution for helping to manage ECS and DVT.
Jobst Gradient Compression Hosiery products are available at three ranges of gradient compression – 15-20 mmHg, 20-30 mmHg, and 30-40 mmHg – to provide therapeutic benefits for a wide range of venous and lymphatic disorders.
Jobst Gradient Compression Hosiery is effective in the management of other venous disorders, from minor to severe conditions, including varicose veins, edema, and chronic venous insufficiency.
Jobst Gradient Compression Hosiery is the number one physician-recommended brand of gradient compression hosiery in the United States.
Conrad Jobst pioneered the concept of gradient compression application to the legs and patented the first gradient compression stocking in 1950.
Jobst Gradient Compression Hosiery products include:
- Jobst UltraSheer Medical LegWear – effective gradient therapy for the relief and management of vascular disorders in a variety of sheer, lightweight styles.
- Jobst Opaque Medical LegWear – medically effective therapy in an exceptionally soft, easy-to-don fabric.
- Jobst forMen Medical LegWear – offers men gradient compression in socks designed for business and casual dress.
