Truform Ready To Wear Gauntlet is designed provide firm support to help manage moderate swelling following trauma, surgery, or radiation therapy. Graduated compression technology delivers a compressive action to the leg that is greatest at the ankle, then gradually decreases toward the heart. The amount of compression is expressed as mmHg (millimeters of mercury). The 20-30mmHg Firm compression level is great for tired, aching legs and moderate varicosities, moderate edema, post surgery and post sclerotherapy, and helps prevent venous ulcerations and thrombophlebitis, just to name a few. Lightweight microfiber knit construction allows for easy application. The soft air-permeable fabric provides extended wearing comfort. Available in three standard sizes and basic neutral colors. Truform stockings, socks and pantyhose feature Graduated Compression Technology, which delivers a compressive action to the leg that is greatest at the ankle, then gradually decreases toward the heart. The amount of compression is expressed as mmHg (millimeters of mercury). Graduated compression provides two primary benefits to the legs: increased pressure on tissues beneath the skin helps reduce and prevent swelling for the wearer, and the compression action helps control the size (diameter) of the superficial veins that lie just beneath the skin, preventing the slowing of blood flow so it can flow more quickly up the leg back toward the heart. Truform graduated compression support hosiery helps maintain good circulation and leg health.
