20-30 mmHg compression stockings are classified as firm compression stockings. They provide a higher level of graduated compression compared to the 15-20 mmHg range, making them suitable for more pronounced circulatory issues. Here’s what they’re typically used for:
1)Varicose Veins: They offer significant relief for moderate to severe varicose veins, reducing symptoms and preventing worsening of the condition.
2)Edema: They effectively reduce moderate to severe swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet.
