Compression stockings apply graduated pressure to the legs — firmest at the ankle, easing up the leg — to support circulation, reduce swelling and relieve tired, aching legs. EMIS+ supplies medical compression stockings in Singapore, including Sigvaris, in a range of compression classes and styles.
How to choose compression stockings
-
By compression class: lighter support (Class 1, ~15–20 mmHg) for mild swelling and prevention; firmer medical grades (Class 2, ~20–30 mmHg) for varicose veins, venous conditions or after clinical advice.
-
By length & style: knee-high, thigh-high or pantyhose, in open- or closed-toe.
-
By fit: correct sizing (ankle and calf measurements) is essential for both comfort and effectiveness.
Common questions
Who should wear compression stockings? They are commonly used for varicose veins, leg swelling (oedema), tired legs, long-haul travel, pregnancy, and after certain procedures. For medical-grade compression, a doctor's guidance on the right class is recommended.
