JOBST uses gradient compression in the garments we manufacture. Gradient compression has the greatest pressure at their base, and reduces pressure as the compression garment goes up the arm or leg. This helps encourage the movement of fluids, whether its blood circulation or lymph fluid circulation. The gentle pressure helps blood vessels and lymph vessels absorb fluids more easily, providing relief for tissues and reducing swelling. Jobst Relief are great for flights, tired and achy legs. JOBST Relief is an economical compression stocking that provides physician recommended gradient compression to help treat symptoms commonly associated with venous disease.Product FeaturesQuality garment at an economical priceSoft, smooth textureA generous toe areaReinforced heel for added durabilityWhich Compression Level is Right for You?Compression stockings are medical grade devices designed to move blood flow. Support compression stockings are made available in multiple compression support levels.
