Compression Hosiery: What class do I need for my recovery ?

Class Two is usually worn when there is a significant vascular or lymphatic issue such as lymphedema. This compression class of hosiery works well for reducing swelling of the ankles and offers significant support for more severe varicose veins.

 Bodyment proudly sells the Sigvaris Cotton range of knee high socks that help with temperature regulation, are softer and easier to put on than other CCL II hosiery and are gentler on the legs. We also have the trusted Jobst brand and Medical Grade knee high, thigh high, chaps style and pantyhose. 

If you will be having a procedure on your vascular system, like vein stripping, laser ablation or sclerotherapy, your Doctor will probably ask you to wear Class II compression hosiery for a few weeks after surgery.

Often, chaps style is preferred when only one leg is being treated. This style can be worn on either leg and has an adjustable Velcro waistband. Thigh High stockings are also recommended for wear if having procedures on both legs. Again, each stocking can be worn on either leg. After surgery, your Doctor may prefer you to choose an open toe option.
