Compression stockings for healthcare workers

Healthcare professionals spend long days on their feet. Whether you're a nurse, work in the emergency room, or care for clients in home care, your legs take a beating.

Why compression is essential in healthcare

Healthcare workers stand and walk a lot during their work and have irregular working hours. This can lead to tired, heavy, or swollen legs.

Several healthcare workers at hospitals like Rijnstate and Gelderse Vallei choose to wear compression stockings with targeted pressure around the ankles and calves, which stimulates blood circulation. This helps prevent fluid retention and supports blood flow back to the heart.

The Support Compression Stockings are perfect for very frequent use, such as daily use in healthcare. They offer light, medical-grade compression and feel comfortable during long shifts. However, for maximum effectiveness and heavier compression, such as for varicose veins or fluid retention, you're better off choosing the PRO Compression Stocking with approved medical pressure (MDR) .
