Elastic compression<br />

The elastic in the stocking recoils and<br />

creates inward pressure on the leg.<br />

This pressure may prevent the movement<br />

of blood from the superficial to deep<br />

system.<br />

In this way, the efficiency of the<br />

musculovenous pump is compromised in<br />

some patients by the use of elastic<br />

compression stockings.
