Jobst UltraSheer Medical Legwear For Women
When worn daily, support hose offers relief
from pain and swelling related to many common venous conditions,
including deep vein thrombosis and varicose veins.The Jobst
compression stocking collection includes medical legwear for women that
offers high levels of compression in fashionable designs. UltraSheer
support hose looks similar to regular stockings and is barely
distinguishable by most people.
Unlike regular stockings, support
hose uses elastic to create pressure that wraps your leg with graduating
support stemming from the ankle. This reduces swelling and increases
circulation. However, the elastic does not dampen the look or feel of
the hosiery. The nylon and spandex yarn is combined with a silicone
blend to make Jobst stocking easy to put on and comfortable with
extended wear.

Medical legwear is available in these styles: Knee High, Thigh High, Pantyhose, Maternity.
And in varying degrees of compression:
- 15-20mmHg--helps minor varicosities and swelling
- 20-30mmHg--relieves pain and swelling associated with severe varicosities and moderate edema

Higher
levels of compression may help after some surgeries and may be
prescribed by your doctor. Support hose often provides continued therapy
to prevent the return of treated conditions. You should always consult a
doctor before wearing medical support hose.
