Who Benefits from Firm Compression?

Firm 20-30 mmHg compression is a step up from moderate support and is often recommended for those dealing with more persistent leg concerns. This compression level may help reduce the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) for higher-risk individuals and is commonly suggested following certain surgical procedures.

  • Post-surgical recovery: Many doctors recommend firm compression after vein procedures like stripping or sclerotherapy to support healthy healing
  • Chronic swelling & discomfort: If moderate compression hasn't provided enough relief, stepping up to 20-30 mmHg may offer the support you need
  • Prevention-focused wear: Those looking to help reduce the risk of venous ulcer recurrence or manage mild lymphedema often turn to this level

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between 20-30 mmHg and 15-20 mmHg compression?

The 20-30 mmHg level is classified as "firm" compression, while 15-20 mmHg is considered "moderate." Firm compression provides stronger, more graduated pressure and is often recommended for those with more persistent swelling, discomfort, or specific medical needs. If moderate compression hasn't given you the relief you're looking for, stepping up to firm may help.

Do I need a prescription for 20-30 mmHg compression socks?

No prescription is required to purchase 20-30 mmHg compression products. However, if you're recovering from surgery or managing a medical condition, it's always a good idea to check with your healthcare provider to make sure this compression level is right for you.

How do I know what size to order?

Proper fit is key to getting the most benefit from compression wear. We recommend measuring your legs, particularly your ankle and calf circumference, and referring to the sizing chart on each product page.
