Each measurement stands for how much pressure is needed to raise one level of mercury (Hg) over a specific distance, which is measured in millimeters (mm). - Patients with mild foot and leg discomfort are more likely to need compression hosiery rated between 12 and 18 mmHg.
- Those with moderate pain should look at hosiery measuring between 20 and 30 mmHg.
- If you're facing a potential surgery to correct your foot or leg problems, your doctor will probably recommend that you pick up hosiery rated between 30 and 40 mmHg.
