Juzo Soft 2001 Pantyhose 20-30mmhg Closed Toe Compression Hose Our compression stocking is also our most comfortable stocking. Designed for both men and women and is available in regular, short, and petite lengths. They’re also made of soft elastic fibers and available in both open and closed-toe options. To improve circulation, graduated compression stockings are often part of a management plan. As you move, graduated compression stockings apply pressure to support the calf muscle and outside of veins to help the valves close. The compression starts at the ankle and gradually decreases as it works its way up the leg, helping to improve circulation, manage your discomfort/swelling, and give you more freedom to move.
