Trust Care Compression Stocking

Over Trust Care Compression Stocking

Trust Care compression stocking — a knee-length microfibre stocking that works against varicose veins and supports the circulation with medical compression of 15–21 mmHg, class 1. It comes in three colours and five sizes.

Knee-length support stocking in microfibre

The stocking uses graduated compression: the pressure is highest at the ankle and eases as it goes up towards the knee, which is what helps the blood on its way back. The microfibre is OEKO-Tex certified and smooth against the skin, so it stays comfortable for hours at a time.

Class 1 compression, 15–21 mmHg, is the lightest medical level, which is why it suits preventive use. You can wear it daily without a prescription, unlike class 2 and class 3, which usually need to be fitted. It comes in beige, black and dark blue, and in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL. It is made in Italy in a factory that specialises in compression.

Who does the stocking suit?

It suits you who sit or stand for long stretches and feel it in the legs by the evening, and it is worth having on a long flight. See more socks and sock aids, or read about varicose veins on NHS.uk.
