Compression Socks for Flying
Do your feet and legs get swollen during long flights? Compression Socks from 360 Relief are the solution for those who have these symptoms. Our Compression Socks are designed with the latest 3D knitting technology which makes them an excellent choice for air travel. They grip your calves properly and regulate blood circulation which can further prevent swelling and discomfort. Our compression socks are available in a variety of sizes, styles and colors, so you can choose a pair that best meets your needs and preferences.
Not only do our socks provide comfort and protection during your flight, but they can also help prevent serious health issues such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). People who often travel over many miles have a higher risk of developing deep vein thrombosis, causing blood clots in the lower legs usually.
Our compression socks can lower this risk by promoting proper circulation and preventing coagulation problems. So, you can travel safely and comfortably regardless of whether you travel by air, by road, by ship, etc.
Our compression socks are made from high-quality materials and stretchable fabric that provide both durability and breathability. Also, your feet and legs will stay dry and comfy throughout your flight due to the moisture-wicking fibers in the socks.
On top of that, the cuff of our socks is soft, non-restrictive and will not cut blood flow, while they are on. So, don’t let your swollen legs and feet ruin your next flight. Buy 360 Relief Compression Socks and get relief and comfort in no time.
Research reveals that wearing compression socks during a flight lasting more than five hours helps reduce deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in people who show no symptoms. Compression socks also help minimise discomfort, leg swelling, and blood clots forming near the skin surface.
The Institute for Quality and Efficiency Healthcare suggests wearing compression socks at least 2 hours before the flight to decrease the risk. They also recommend keeping them on throughout the entire journey.
The following types of compressions are listed according to the needs they can meet:
- Light: Light compression socks (under 15 mmHg) are the best option for healthy people who stand all day.
- Mild: Mild compression socks (15-20 mmHg) are the option to prevent DVT in airline passengers.
- Moderate: A medical-grade compression (over 20 mmHg) is used for oedema, varicose veins and help prevent blood clots post-surgery.
Avoid wearing compression socks at night unless your GP suggests you wear them. Indeed, compression socks help improve blood circulation, but they may block blood flow when lying down.
Wearing compression socks 24/7 could be hard on your skin. They may feel uncomfortable at night. It feels good to remove compression socks at night and give your legs a break.
