Characteristics of pressure distribution of medical insurance socks
Medical insurance socks, especially medical elastic stockings or graduated decompression elastic stockings, are widely used in the medical field for the prevention and treatment of varicose veins, sequelae of deep vein thrombosis, edema and other lower extremity venous diseases. Its core feature lies in its unique pressure distribution design, which is designed to promote the effective return of lower extremity venous blood, reduce the pressure on the lower extremity veins and venous valves, and thus relieve or improve related symptoms.
Characteristics of pressure distribution of medical insurance socks
The pressure distribution of medical insurance socks follows the principle of step-by-step change from bottom to top. Specifically, this pressure gradient design ensures that the highest support pressure is established at the ankle, and then gradually decreases along the leg. This pressure reduction change pattern has significant physiological effects:
High pressure at the ankle: As the starting point of venous blood return at the lower extremities, the ankle bears a large venous pressure. Medical insurance socks are designed with a higher pressure value at the ankle, which can directly act on this area, help overcome the influence of gravity on venous blood return, and promote blood flow toward the heart.
Moderate pressure in the calf: In the calf area, the pressure value of medical insurance socks is reduced to 70%-90% of the maximum pressure value. This pressure level will not be too tight to affect comfort, and it can effectively assist the pumping function of the calf muscles and further promote the upward return of venous blood.
Low pressure in the thigh: When the pressure is transmitted to the thigh, the pressure value of medical insurance socks has been reduced to 25%-45% of the maximum pressure value. This design avoids unnecessary pressure in the thigh area, while ensuring that venous blood can smoothly pass through the venous system in the thigh area and eventually return to the heart.
Choice of pressure level
Medical insurance socks are divided into multiple types according to their different pressure levels to meet the needs of different patients:
Level 1 low-pressure preventive health care type (15-20mmHg): Suitable for health care prevention of people with high incidence of varicose veins and thrombosis. This level of pressure is relatively mild and suitable for daily wear to prevent the occurrence of diseases.
Level 1 medium-pressure initial treatment type (20-30mmHg): Suitable for patients with early varicose veins. This level of pressure is slightly higher, which can effectively improve the initial symptoms and prevent further deterioration of the condition.
Level 2 high pressure moderate treatment type (30-40mmHg): Suitable for patients with obvious varicose veins in the lower limbs and leg discomfort. This level of pressure is stronger and aims to relieve or eliminate more serious symptoms.
Level 3 high pressure severe treatment type (40-50mmHg): Suitable for patients with severe symptoms such as high swelling, ulcers, darkening and hardening of the skin in the lower limbs. This level of pressure is the highest and must be used strictly under the guidance of a doctor.
