COMPRESSION STOCKING

Definition

A garment in the form of a sock or stocking intended to fit tightly over the leg and foot to apply compression/pressure (i.e., graduated or even-force), typically for the treatment/prevention of a disorder(s) of circulation [e.g., venous insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis. It is not a strip/roll binder or tubular support bandage, and is not designed to cover the pelvis. It is typically made of elastic material (e.g., circular knit nylon/Spandex yarns); it does not include antimicrobial features. It is intended for use in the home or a clinical setting. This is a single-person-use device.

Specifications

4 classes based on their pressure value

  • Class 1 : 18-21 mm Hg / 2.4-2.8 kPa; Light pressure with a superficial drainage system of moisture and waste. This class applies for/to people with:
    • heavy and tired legs,
    • a light form of varicose veins,
    • preventive wear during pregnancy,
    • a slight tendency to oedema
  • Class 2 : 23-32 mm Hg / 3.1-4.3 kPa. Moderate pressure with a superficial drainage system of moisture and waste. This class applies for/to people with:
    • varicose veins,
    • swollen legs during pregnancy,
    • operations of varicose veins,
    • a treatment of vein problems,
    • a slight tendency to oedema
  • Class 3 : Strong pressure with a superficial and deep drainage system of moisture and waste. This class applies for/to people with:
    • varicose veins due to damaged deep veins,
    • chronic venous insufficiency,
    • early stage lymphoedema,
    • a strong tendency to oedema
  • Class 4 : Very strong pressure with a superficial and deep drainage system of moisture and waste. This class applies for/to people with:
    • very severe venous diseases,
    • advanced lymphoedema.

Quality Standards Comment

For a neutral and reproducible testing method in Europe for medical compression stockings, couple of standards have been developed like in Germany RAL-GZG standard, in France AFNOR and in Great Britain BSI. These standards include exactly defined procedures how to classify a medical compression stocking. Preliminary ENV 12718 was created as a mutual European standard, but in the end it was refused by the majority of the members of the standardization committee after 13 years. Only the German standard RAL-GZG took over the reasonable requirements of the ENV 12718.
