Description
Youleg Medical Compression Stockings are designed to provide graduated pressure to the legs, which is strongest at the ankle and decreases up the leg. This mechanism helps to improve blood circulation and can assist in managing symptoms such as aching legs, swelling, and varicose veins. The stockings are composed of a blend of microfiber and Lycra, offering a soft feel and making them easier to wear. The thigh-high design ensures coverage for the entire leg, addressing issues that may extend above the knee.
Graduated Compression: Delivers a graduated pressure that is strongest at the ankle and lessens towards the thigh, which may aid blood flow back to the heart. Soft and Durable Fabric: Made from a combination of microfiber, Polyamide, and Lycra, these stockings are designed for softness, durability, and a comfortable fit. Silicone Top Band: Features a silicone band at the top to prevent the stocking from sliding down during wear.

Safety Information/Precaution
Consult a healthcare professional before using compression stockings, especially if you have existing medical conditions such as peripheral arterial disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes, or sensory loss in the extremity. If you experience any discomfort, skin irritation, or acute pain while wearing the stockings, discontinue use and seek medical advice. Do not apply lotions, creams, or oils to your legs right before putting on the stockings, as they can damage the fabric.

Other Information
To maintain the elasticity of the stockings, it is recommended to hand wash them with a mild soap and let them air dry. Do not place them in a dryer or near a heat source. With daily use and proper care, stockings may need to be replaced every 4-6 months as the elastic fibers can break down over time. The material composition is typically a blend of Microfiber, Lycra, and Polyamide.
