Graduated compression maternity hosiery may look and feel like regular hosiery, but this hosiery is a noninvasive, effective method for treating Varicose Veins!

During your pregnancy your body experiences many changes—both physical changes as well as hormonal changes; all occur to nourish your healthy baby. Unfortunately these changes put added stress on your body especially the legs’ venous system—for instance…

• Your blood plasma volume increases 20 to 30 times
• Your hormonal progesterone secretion rises 60 to 100 times
• Your estrogen concentration grows by 100 to 200 times!

In simplest terms, these and dozens of other changes seriously weaken the walls of your blood vessels causing them to swell and lose tone—the first phase of varicosity and development of Varicose Veins.

Graduated Compression Hosiery acts on the veins in 3 critical ways:

• 1. Restores tone and strength to the vessel walls,
• 2. Regulates the blood flow velocity back to the heart, and
• 3. Prevents backflow of blood into smaller veins and tissues.

The backflow of blood into the superficial veins and the smaller capillaries and surrounding tissue is the beginning of spider veins that continue to swell into Varicose Veins. Left unchecked, the vessels become knotted and die, leading to skin rashes and ulceration.

Graduated Compression Maternity Hosiery wraps your legs in scientifically correct compression to return your venous system to normal function. This hosiery is completely safe for you and your baby-to-be.
