Compression Apparel Buying Guide
If you think you might benefit from compression apparel but you’re not sure where to start, you’ve come to the right place. Preston Pharmacy & Home Medical Equipment has created this guide with some important information. Let’s start with the basics. Compression apparel is a type of garment that is often prescribed to patients who need to reduce pain and swelling while increasing blood flow and promoting healthy circulation. There are various products to choose from depending on your needs. Read on for more details. Visit us in Jacksonville, Florida, near Jacksonville Beach to check out our inventory.
Compression Socks
As you start shopping around, you’ll notice that compression socks are extremely popular. This type of compression apparel is geared toward those who need to reduce their risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is a blood clot that is often found in the leg. Fortunately, compression socks help lower your risk of DVT preventing your legs from swelling. The pressure that this compression apparel creates will also provide relief for sore ankles, tired legs, venous insufficiency, and more.
Compression Sleeves
Another product that you might benefit from is a compression sleeve. Generally speaking, this garment serves the same purpose as compression socks but are available in a wider range of options. Some examples of compression sleeves include arm sleeves, long-sleeve tops, calf sleeves, and so on. The fabric used to make this type of compression apparel is usually a comfortable blend of nylon and spandex. When you wear compression sleeves on your upper body during or after exercise, you’ll greatly reduce inflammation and swelling.
JOBST® Compression Apparel
JOBST is a brand we are proud to feature here at Preston Pharmacy & Home Medical Equipment. The company founder, Conrad Jobst, is credited with inventing the first modern compression sock back in the 1950s. JOBST continues to be a leader in compression apparel to this day, and this product line includes everything from foot wraps to custom body suits.
Mediven® Compression Apparel
Mediven is another brand you can count on for all your compression needs. Mediven compression garments are made with high-tech, breathable fabrics for superior comfort, and they come in a wide range of sizes to meet every need. Some of the products in this line include maternity hose, compression gloves, and comfort sock liners designed to be worn underneath compression socks.
