Compression therapy

Steps of compression therapy

Compression therapy includes the use of compression bandages with special ties, as well as manual and mechanical lymphatic drainage. This helps reduce leg swelling, improve skin and subcutaneous metabolism, and heal small ulcers. After the reduction of swelling and/or healing of ulcers, the doctor takes precise leg measurements for each patient and individually selects medical compression stockings, which are a mandatory prerequisite for a successful therapy outcome.

Compression bandages

In cases of severe swelling, the doctor may prescribe leg bandaging with compression bandages. This type of treatment is only available at Dr. Maurins Clinic, where specially trained staff properly perform this bandaging. Once the swelling has significantly reduced, the doctor prescribes compression stockings for maintenance therapy to sustain the achieved results. Compression therapy is the primary method for treating the consequences of deep vein insufficiency.

Medical compression stockings

High-quality medical compression stockings are designed with a specific pressure around the ankle area. The pressure created by the stockings helps ensure normal blood circulation, improves results after sclerotherapy and laser surgery, and reduces inflammation, swelling, pain, scars, and pigmentation.

Special attention should also be given to leg veins if leg swelling is observed—ankles are swollen in the evenings, varicose veins are protruding, or there is a feeling of heaviness, pain, or cramps at night. Compression stockings help address these issues by applying pressure to the legs, improving blood flow from the legs and aiding in the upward movement of blood.

Correct choice

Compression stockings come in various types. They are classified into different compression classes, and there are also different sizing systems. Therefore, when choosing the most suitable compression stockings or tights, it is important to consult a knowledgeable specialist at Dr. Maurins Clinic's medical goods store to find the most appropriate solution. It is essential to choose certified and high-quality compression stockings or tights, with the manufacturer guaranteeing their effectiveness. These stockings are made with a specific pressure around the ankle area, classified into compression classes. The pressure created by the stockings helps move the blood upward, toward the heart.
