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.
