Activa Class 2 Thigh Length Compression Stockings
Activa Class 2 Thigh Length Compression Stockings are for the treatment of venous conditions without oedema. The stockings provide comfortable, graduated compression and will need to be held up with a suspender belt. This length may suit those who have arthritic knees or prominent varicose veins behind the knee.
Activa Class 2 Thigh Length Compression Stockings provide a compression of 18-24mmHg - medium compression for use in medium severity varicose veins and mild oedema, including varicosis during pregnancy. They can also be used as part of the treatment for and to prevent the occurrence and recurrence of venous leg ulcers, post operatively and on long distance travel to help prevent deep vein thrombosis in high risk patients.
Activa Class 2 Thigh Length Compression Stockings are available in 3 colours (black, honey and sand) and 4 sizes (see size guide below).
