It conceals varicose veins and spider veins and is also comfortable to wear for patients with heavier thighs.

Putting on/taking off compression socks or tights
It is recommended to put on compression socks or tights in the morning, before getting up, before the swelling of the legs has started. It is best to use rubber gloves as this will make it easier to put on and take off the compression socks or tights. Feet must be dry.
Using rubber gloves, rub the sock or pantyhose over the foot and heel until the heel is in place. Do not pull the sock by the top edge.
