Types of Medical Compression Stockings: Which One Is Right for You?

Whether you’re dealing with tired, aching legs or more advanced venous disorders, choosing the right medical compression stockings is essential. These specially designed stockings help improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, and prevent complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT). But not all compression stockings are the same. Let’s explore the different types available and help you decide which one is right for you.

Class 1 Compression Stockings (18–21 mmHg)

If you're experiencing heavy legs, mild varicose veins, or early signs of venous insufficiency, Class 1 medical compression stockings are a great starting point. They are also ideal for people with green-blue spider veins or mild oedema.

Sorgen Medical Compression Stockings Class 1 are made with skin-friendly, breathable fabric that is stretchable and soft. These stockings offer graduated compression therapy, starting higher at the ankle and gradually decreasing up the leg. With features like reinforced heels, comfortable cuffs, and open toes to prevent blisters, these stockings provide all-day comfort and are quality-checked using MST technology.

Key Benefits:

  • Encourages healthy blood flow

  • Helps prevent tired and aching legs

  • Alleviates mild oedema and varicose veins

  • Improves overall leg health and comfort

Class 2 Compression Stockings (23–32 mmHg)

If your symptoms are more severe—persistent swelling, aching, or risk of DVT—Class 2 compression stockings are recommended. These are often prescribed for post-surgical recovery and for individuals with moderate varicose veins or venous ulcers.

Sorgen Medical Compression Stockings Class 2 are designed to support medical needs while ensuring comfort. With higher compression levels, these stockings relieve tired legs, reduce oedema, and are effective in preventing DVT. They are also beneficial for long-distance travelers, teachers, and professionals who sit or stand for extended hours.

Key Benefits:

  • Improves blood circulation

  • Reduces swelling and discomfort

  • Prevents DVT and venous complications

  • Supports daily leg wellness and mobility

Class 3 Compression Stockings (34–46 mmHg)

Sorgen Medical Compression Stockings Class 3 are crafted with premium Egyptian cotton, ensuring durability, comfort, and a luxurious feel. With grip tops for a secure fit, reinforced heel pockets, and MST-approved quality, they help manage serious leg conditions while ensuring wearer comfort.
