When you have circulation problems in your legs and, at the end of the day, you're home with swollen ankles and the typical sense of heaviness in your limbs, you look for a way to fix the discomfort.
When you have to face a journey, be it by train or plane, for example, and you have to sit in small chairs, forced with your legs still for hours, or you have to be around all day, you will certainly have a painful repercussion on your legs. The blood circulation, in fact, if it is not stimulated or does not follow its return to the heart correctly, can generate pain in the limbs, stagnation of liquids, swelling and more serious complications such as venous thrombosis.
A method to face your daily life with lightness is graduated compression knee-highs. Your doctor will be able to recommend the medical device that best suits your needs, you will have to understand which sock best suits your style and the purpose of use. Going to the office, spending long hours in front of a PC without moving from your station, for example, may result in swollen legs and fatigue. To overcome this problem, a solution could be the adoption of graduated compression knee-highs. On the Solidea website there are many models of knee-highs, suitable for any type of clothing, from the most formal to the most casual.

The breathable effect and the use of OEKO-TEX certified materials, in fact, are the guarantee of a product that can bring the right graduated compression, according to the doctor's indication, alongside the safety of the medical device.
There are many models on the website: from fashionable and stylish knee-highs, with original motifs for men and women, to classic nude, solid colour, restful, veiled, bamboo fibre and much more.
Graduated compression knee-highs: how they work
Graduated compression knee-highs stimulate the blood and lymphatic system. This action strengthens the normal circulatory and lymphatic function, which can be compromised by many health situations. With a stronger compression at the ankle, which gradually loosens on the leg, the knee-highs help blood and lymphatic flow back to the heart. This will prevent fluid stagnation and the formation of thrombi, masses that obstruct the fluid passage of blood into the veins.
Wearing them, then, is very simple. Simply use both hands to gently widen the elastic fibres of the product. Then, insert the foot in the toe of the sock, if provided according to the model, and unroll it on the rest of the leg for its entire length. The fabric will perform its compressive function even during the hectic life that involves us daily, without moving from its position. As for the models of socks and knees of the Sport line, perfect to use during physical activity in the gym or outdoors, it will be the movement of the body, then, to ensure that the micromassage is activated. By evening, we'll have less heavy and less swollen legs.
In the case of a surgical operation, on the other hand, for which we need a therapeutic device to avoid generating thrombi due to remaining in a resting state, there are both open-toe and closed-toe models in the catalogue. Open-toe knee-highs are useful to avoid compression on the tips of the fingers in case of very fragile skin or in a painful state, as can happen for those with diabetic feet or big toes.
Choosing the knee-high that best suits your needs, therefore, is not difficult. You must identify the intended use, your habits and, depending on the pathology or need, discuss it with your doctor during the visit.
Solidea offers soft and functional graduated compression knee-highs, classic and comfortable, but also fun and with a particular attention to natural yarns. Discover the entire catalogue dedicated to Solidea knee-highs and choose a new way of dressing your legs.
