Orthofabrik Class 2 compression stockings are medically effective support stockings specifically designed to promote venous and circulatory function in the legs. They are used for venous discomfort, fatigue, and swelling, as well as for the prevention of varicose veins and thrombosis. These stockings offer graduated pressure that decreases from the bottom to the top – thus improving venous return and making legs feel lighter.
