Improves venous return
Reduces the diameter of the veins and increases the speed of blood flow back to the heart.
Compression therapy consists of the controlled application of external pressure to the legs using bandages, elastic stockings or multilayer systems. Its main aim is to improve venous and lymphatic return, reducing oedema and promoting tissue oxygenation.
Compression works by reducing the diameter of the veins, increasing the speed of blood flow and improving the function of the venous valves. This helps control inflammation, reduce pain and the feeling of tired legs, prevent venous stasis and speed up the healing of wounds related to poor circulation.
How does it work?
Reduces oedema
Promotes lymphatic and venous drainage, reducing the build-up of fluid in the limbs.
Improves the venous valves
Optimises valve function, preventing reflux and venous stasis.
Oxygenates the tissues
By improving circulation, it increases the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues.
