Compression: how does it work?

Graduated compression, stronger at the ankle and decreasing towards the calf, promotes better blood circulation and helps prevent various discomforts. It allows you to:

  • Relieving heavy legs
  • Improve venous return
  • Reduce fatigue
  • Facilitate recovery
  • Reduce water retention

The different compression classes

Compression stockings are classified into 4 levels of compression : from class 1 (light) to class 4 (very strong) .
In France, this classification follows the AFNOR standard, which guarantees controlled and reliable pressure.
The French National Authority for Health (HAS) then recommends the appropriate level according to the stage of venous disease (CEAP classification).
👉 Compression is measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury) , a medical unit that indicates the pressure exerted at the ankle.
