Compression Socks for Nurses
Do you have a nursing profession and spend a lot of time standing and moving around? Then you may experience swollen legs and feet after a very long shift. It’s a common occurrence when you stand for long periods of time; causing fatigue, swelling, and pain. That’s why – 360 Relief has designed compression socks specifically for nurses which can help them to remain active and pain-free during their shifts. They are available in a variety of sizes, styles and colors, so you can choose a pair that best meets your needs and preferences.
We use graduated compression technology to help reduce swelling and improve circulation in your lower legs and feet. This can help support your legs, so you can stand on your feet all day long. So, nurses can feel more comfortable while completing their tasks and shifts with ease.
Our compression socks fit snugly around your legs without constricting your movement, ensuring maximum comfort throughout the day. Wearing our compression socks can also aid in reducing the chance of chronic medical conditions like deep vein thrombosis, lymphatic edema, and varicose veins.
Our socks are tailored to relieve any discomfort in your calves, feet, and ankles. They are made of high 3D knitting technology and breathable fabric that makes them durable for everyday use. They cannot only help you prevent lower limb circulatory issues but also keep your skin dry and fresh.
They also offer an excellent cushioning effect for greater comfort and protection in your lower legs and heel areas. However, you can also do a leg workout or physiotherapy to stabilize and strengthen your lower limb muscles if you have a severe issue.
A majority of nurses need to wear light to moderate compressions (15-20 mmHg). This type of compression is helpful for nurses who need to stand all day, travel on long-haul flights, or experience mild swelling.
Compression socks help reduce leg fatigue and the level of heaviness that nurses often experience. Compression socks are designed to improve blood circulation within the legs.
Wearing compression socks depends upon the needs. Nurses whose routines include standing for long periods and travelling on long haul flights can wear compression socks all day. They can also take help from healthcare advisors for wearing compression socks.
Compression socks can cause redness, irritations, and itching in your legs. When you wear compression socks inappropriately, you may feel redness and dents in your skin at the edge of the socks’ fabric.
For some people, doctors recommend not wearing compression socks. For example, if you suffer from a peripheral vascular disease affecting your lower extremities, you should avoid wearing compression socks.
