Our compression garments apply graduated, controlled pressure to the limbs. This pressure helps push venous blood back toward the heart, improving blood flow, reducing swelling (edema), and relieving the feeling of tired or heavy legs.

They are ideal for people who spend a lot of time standing or sitting, frequent travelers, athletes in recovery, people with mild to moderate circulation problems (such as early varicose veins), and anyone looking to improve their well-being and prevent muscle fatigue.

At VieSalud, we focus on medically accurate compression and a design that combines comfort, durability, and aesthetics. We use high-quality breathable materials and rigorous sizing systems to ensure the correct graduated pressure, which is key to therapeutic benefit.

To ensure effective compression, size is crucial. Please refer to our detailed Size Guide for each product, where we indicate the exact measurements (usually ankle, calf, and thigh) you need to take in order to select the size that will provide the right pressure.

It is generally recommended to wear them during active hours (while standing or sitting). For specific, personalized advice, consult your doctor.

Our compression garments are sold as over-the-counter wellness products (without a prescription) with compression levels generally below 30 mmHg. However, if you have any pre-existing medical conditions (such as severe arterial disease, congestive heart failure, or skin infections), you should always consult a physician or vascular specialist before use.

Compression stockings are essential for keeping your legs light and comfortable all day long. They help prevent swelling, promote blood circulation (key for those who spend a lot of time standing or sitting), and are a great support for combating varicose veins and spider veins. They're like a therapeutic hug for your legs!

mmHg stands for millimeters of mercury per square inch. It's the unit that measures the pressure the stocking exerts on the skin. Compression stockings are tightest at the ankle, and the pressure gradually decreases upward. This design helps fluid that accumulates in the ankle disperse naturally throughout the body.

Ideally, take your measurements first thing in the morning, right after waking up. At that time, your legs are less swollen. Consult the size chart for the specific product you want to buy to find out which parts of your body you should measure.

There are so many options in compression stockings. Consider what type of clothing you wear most often in your daily life. Do you need knee-high stockings for work, thigh-high stockings, or pantyhose? Do you prefer stockings for lounging at home or for going out? Are you an active person who needs athletic socks or compression sleeves? At VieSalud, we have a wide variety; you're sure to find what you need for your limbs. If you need help, contact us!

They're wonderful during and after pregnancy. Changes in the body can cause mild to moderate swelling. Graduated compression stockings apply more pressure at the ankle and gradually decrease it upwards, helping to return accumulated blood to the heart. They promote circulation, combat swelling and pain, and even prevent blood clots.

Unless your doctor advises otherwise, the compression level doesn't change depending on the toe style. Choose the style you prefer. People with very narrow feet may prefer a closed toe for a better fit.

In each product description, just above the size selection, click where it says "SIZE GUIDE".

If they get sweaty or dirty, wash them after each use. Use a mild detergent to make your stockings or compression garments last longer.

  • Use lukewarm water and mild liquid soap, place it on the compression garments you wish to wash and rub gently with your hands.
  • Do not tumble dry: Avoid using the dryer, as the heat can damage the elastic fibers of the stockings and reduce their effectiveness.
  • Air dry: Ideally, dry them outdoors, preferably in a shady spot away from direct sunlight. You can hang them or lay them flat on a towel to absorb moisture.

By following these washing and drying recommendations, you will help prolong the life of your compression garments and maintain their effectiveness.

15-20 mmHg is the recommended pressure for healthy legs, for prevention.

No, if you're already using higher compression, you don't need to lower it for the trip. Consult your doctor to make sure your current compression is appropriate.

Generally speaking, the compression itself doesn't change depending on the style of stocking , unless your doctor advises otherwise. What does vary is the coverage and fit offered by different styles.

For example:

  • Knee-high stockings: These are ideal for those who need support in the lower leg, especially if they spend a lot of time standing or sitting.
  • Thigh-high stockings: They offer greater coverage and support for the entire leg, including the thigh.
  • Pantyhose: They provide support from the feet to the waist, which can be beneficial for those who need extra support in the abdominal and lumbar area.

The style you choose will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Some people prefer open-toed shoes for comfort or ventilation, while others prefer closed-toed shoes for a better fit, especially if they have very narrow feet.

Remember that the most important thing is to choose the right compression level for you and consult your doctor if you have any questions or pre-existing medical conditions. At VieSalud, we have a wide variety of styles so you can find the one that best suits your needs.

  • Ideally, you should put on compression stockings first thing in the morning, right after waking up , before your legs start to swell. This is when your legs are least swollen, making it easier to put on the stockings and ensuring a proper fit.
  • As for how long you can wear them, you can wear compression stockings all day long , from the moment you wake up until you go to bed. However, it's important to listen to your body. If you feel any discomfort or pain, you can remove them for a while and put them back on later.

Some additional recommendations:

  • Consult your doctor : If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or doubts about the appropriate usage time for you, it is always advisable to consult your doctor.
  • Remove them at night : Generally, it is not necessary to wear compression stockings while you sleep, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
  • Observe your body : Pay attention to how your legs feel. If you experience any discomfort, pain, or skin irritation, remove your stockings and consult your doctor.

Remember that proper use of compression stockings can significantly improve your well-being and quality of life. At VieSalud, we're here to help with any questions you may have.

Anti-embolic stockings:

  • Primary Purpose: Its main function is to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is the formation of blood clots in the deep veins, usually in the legs. This is especially important for people with reduced mobility, such as hospitalized patients or those recovering from surgery.
  • Compression: They provide gentle, even compression across the entire leg, designed to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of clots.
  • Use: They are mainly used in medical settings, such as hospitals and clinics, and are recommended for patients who are on prolonged bed rest or have a high risk of DVT.

Compression Stockings:

  • Main Purpose: They help improve blood circulation in the legs, reduce swelling, relieve fatigue and pain, and prevent varicose veins.
  • Compression: They offer graduated compression, meaning the pressure is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases upwards. This helps to pump blood back to the heart.
  • Uses: They are used for a variety of purposes, including:
  • Relieve swelling and pain in the legs.
  • Prevent varicose veins and spider veins.
  • Improve circulation in people who spend a lot of time standing or sitting.
  • To aid in recovery after exercise.
  • Provide support during pregnancy.

Key Differences:

  • Compression Level: Anti-embolism stockings usually have a softer and more uniform compression, while compression stockings offer graduated compression.
  • Primary Use: Anti-embolism stockings are primarily used to prevent DVT in patients with reduced mobility, while compression stockings are used for a variety of purposes related to improving circulation and relieving symptoms in the legs.
  • Usage Environment: Anti-embolic stockings are commonly used in medical settings, while compression stockings can be used in daily life.

In summary:

Both types of stockings are beneficial, but they serve different purposes. Anti-embolism stockings are for preventing blood clots in situations of immobility, while compression stockings are for improving circulation and relieving leg symptoms in various everyday situations.

Remember that it's always advisable to consult a doctor to determine which type of compression stockings are right for your specific needs. At VieSalud, we're here to help you find the perfect compression stockings for you.
