“Stretch socks are the medical equipment which is made of a material that has a very high elasticity.
Stretch socks can deliver a distributed amount of compression at the ankle and up the leg and help relieve symptoms and slow the progress of varicose veins. They are designed to gently squeeze the legs, which promotes good blood flow in the veins. Patients with venous disease may benefit from wearing compression socks or compression stockings even if they have not recently undergone sclerotherapy treatment for varicose veins. Covered Yarn, spandex and nylon are the main raw materials for the production of stretch socks.”
