The PRO Compression Socks have been developed from a TEK stocking and fall into pressure class 2/3. These brightly colored socks not only provide comfort, but are also suitable for medical use.

What are Support Socks or TEK Stockings?

Compression socks, officially known as Therapeutic Elastic Stockings (TEK), are provided by prescription through bandagists and must meet strict criteria:

1. Pressure gradient: The socks provide a pressure gradient from distal to proximal, which means from further away from the heart towards the heart.

2. Fit: The sock must follow the leg contour very accurately.
3. Compression class: Compression socks fall within specific compression classes. If they do not meet these standards, they cannot be classified as compression socks.

Herzog socks

The Herzog PRO Compression Socks are manufactured on the same machines as support socks and provide a compression pressure of 30 mmHg at the ankle to 23 mmHg below the knee. These pressure values fall in the higher range of pressure class 2, almost on the border of pressure class 3. There are four compression classes, depending on the patient's medical condition.

These details make the Herzog PRO Compression Socks suitable for a wide range of medical applications, where they not only meet the requirements for effective compression therapy, but often exceed them due to their pleasant wearing comfort.
