How to grade varicose socks
Varicose socks are socks specially used to treat varicose veins. Different from ordinary socks, they can exert pressure on the legs and make the superficial veins under pressure. However, we must pay attention to the purchase of varicose socks, which are graded. How to grade varicose socks?

How to classify varicose socks according to pressure? There are three types of varicose socks: isobaric, isobaric and isobaric, and the rest can be subdivided into 15-20mmHg below isobaric. At the same time, all Danny's famous varicose socks on the market are basically stockings (such as 240D, 420D, 360D, etc. ), and there is a qualitative difference between them, Danny.

First-class medium-pressure therapy (20-30mmHg): suitable for patients with early varicose veins;

Moderate treatment of secondary hypertension (30-40mmHg): It is suitable for patients with obvious varicose veins of lower limbs (veins protruding from the skin surface when standing) accompanied by leg discomfort (such as soreness of lower limbs, eczema and itching, cramps and numbness, pigmentation, etc.). ), phlebitis, severe varicose veins during pregnancy, postoperative varicose veins (stripping of great and small saphenous veins), patients with deep vein thrombosis syndrome;

Severe treatment type of tertiary hypertension (40-50mmHg): suitable for patients with high swelling of lower limbs, ulcer, blackening and hardening of skin, high lymphedema, recovery period after plastic liposuction, etc.

The cause of varicose veins varicose veins refer to the tortuous and dilated veins caused by blood stasis, weak vein wall and other factors. Varicose veins can occur in many parts of the body. For example, hemorrhoids are actually a kind of varicose veins. Clinically, there are esophageal and gastric varices, varicocele and abdominal varices. Varicose veins most often occur in the lower limbs. It is worth emphasizing that varicose veins themselves may be secondary manifestations of other diseases, such as vena cava obstruction, and the primary disease should be actively dealt with.

There are many reasons for varicose veins of lower limbs, the most common one is simple superficial varicose veins of lower limbs, and its main disease is valve insufficiency of great saphenous vein of thigh. Another important reason is primary deep venous valve insufficiency (PDVI) of lower limbs, because it is often accompanied by great saphenous vein valve insufficiency, which often manifests as tortuous dilatation of superficial veins. In addition, the post-thrombosis syndrome of deep vein of lower limbs, because of poor deep vein reflux, occurs compensatory tortuous dilatation of superficial vein; Arteriovenous fistula, venous malformation and osteophyte syndrome of lower limbs can also show superficial varicose veins of lower limbs; Obstruction of inferior vena cava reflux, such as Budd-Chiari syndrome, can also lead to varicose veins of lower limbs.
