Support stockings class 2

Class 2 compression stockings are compression stockings with a higher compression (pressure) than class 1 and are used for more severe circulatory problems. They usually have a compression of around 23-32 mmHg and are designed with graduated compression, meaning that the pressure is highest at the ankle and gradually reduces up towards the calf. This helps blood to be transported back towards the heart and can help improve circulation in the legs.

Class 2 compression stockings are often used for conditions such as severe swelling, varicose veins, venous insufficiency or other circulatory problems in the legs. They can also be used on medical advice to reduce discomfort and support blood flow in more severe conditions.

These support stockings are suitable for people with greater compression needs and are often used for prolonged periods of sitting or standing, for obvious circulatory problems or on medical advice. As class 2 provides a higher level of compression, it is often recommended that they are used in consultation with a doctor or healthcare professional.
