Abstract
Background.Medical-grade compression of class I (20–30 mmHg) and class II (30–40 mmHg) have been shown to be beneficial against venous hypertension or congestion. Relatively few studies address the effects of ready-to-wear (RTW) lightweight gradient compression pantyhose on venous symptoms.ObjectiveKeywords
