What level of compression does this offer? Medical grade is 20-30 mm/Hg is this possible with shirts and tights?

Its not medical grade. The fit starts fairly snug but loosens up after a few washes and wears

No I don't believe it compresses that well but it's a good fit if you get your size correctly

what does the 30-40mmhg and the 0.35 pound mean. How do you figure it out for the males that need thigh high compression stockings

I have found that the degree of compression is fairly strong but it does not cut off circulation to the foot or become bothersome.

yes, but there are different strengths of compression stockings as well. The tighter they are, the harder they will be to get this device into them. It all depends on how much strength you have and how much strength your stockings have and your own dexterity. I've bought two and pre-load them with the two socks myself and leave them for the patient, so that when the patient is ready to put on their own socks, they can do that part themselves. You can always return them if they don't work for you, right?

If one has varicose veins, a doctor's prescription for support docks is advisable. A friend of my loves them, my experience with them wasn't great- had to return them. Your physician will tell you what compression is needed in your situation Andorra often than not, Amazon will have them, or your local medical supplier. Hope this helps.

1. Go to the Zensah website for sizing info. 2. These don't really provide 30-40 compression. At most they are 20-30. But you could try a smaller size for more compression. However, you risk not being able to get them on.

I have 2 compression tubes on my knee strap. I have IT Band syndrome and it does help, but than my single one helps also.

I don't know. Probably not; they are made for racing and recovery. The official Website does not say anything about medical grade. As to whether they help during distance races and/or after for recovery, my experience allows me to answer with a definite, "yes."

Hello Omer - I found this pump up neck extension unit was cutting off my circulation in my neck no matter what position I was in - be very careful - I had to send mine back - when the unit was pumped up it expanded upward but at the same time expands against the sides of the neck - my neck is about an 18 to 18 1/2 inches for dress shirts - hope this helps :-)

My wife says no because of the compression aspect. If you went a size larger maybe not so bad.

DO NOT put compression on your legs if you've had a blood clot until you get evaluated by a healthcare provider. You could be compressing your existing veins/ arteries that are bypassing the clot and cause problems. Sincerely, a nure practitioner

Yes you can. All you need is a 1/2"mnpt x 1/4" compression. Our you can reduce it down from 1/2" mnpt.

I am not a MD but I don't see why no. Any compression stockings that are comfortable will work. just be sure they are not to tight at the top that they cut off the circulation. just like any other sock.

Compression as in tight sticking to your body and showing every parcel of your body. Thanks for asking.

I got 2 XL legs and they are rather large. I have used them, but I don't feel that I get much compression. I have been meaning to contact the company to see if I can purchase a smaller size leg.

The compression is very strong, but if you are going to wear this brace on a regular basis, I'd get two. Our daughter is a soccer player who had broken each of her ankles playing other sports in school. We've tried every lace up brace on the market-this brace was the best one-hands down. She had more natural mobility and less foot pain. For me, it was a 5 star purchase! Hope this helps!
