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

These have great compressive abilities, but I did not feel any significant thermal impact when I wore it. It does keep warm, but it was not noticeable enough for me to consider it that type of tight. Have you considered the SKINS S400/200 Women's Thermal Compression Long Tights ?

A compression of 15-20 medium would not be the same as a 20-50 large. Size depends on height from ankle to knee and diameter of calf and diameter of ankle. Compression is the tightness of the fabric and you should get what your doctor ordered.

The more compression the better the support for your legs, and the increase in circulation. You should get sized for a proper fit, however I believe 15-20mmHg is a good place to start and 20-30 would be preferred. If your leg feels numb the compression is too tight and you should go down a size. It should increase circulation, never cut it off.

Well, it depends on what your doing and how much you sweat. I get hot and perspire. I don't think I've worn my compression thigh high and sweat really bad. I do know that water will remove that adhesive from my leg. It would also depend on what compression you wear. I wear 30 to 40. It does make me hot. Best advice. Just get it and try. Hope this helps. If you sweat a little, I se no problem.

I found the decompression belt to be ineffective. In fact I sent it back. I get much better results from a Proflex # 1650 compression belt used for lifting at work. At under $18.00 the price was certainly right. My belt is a size Large (have a 38" waist size in pants), your wife may need something smaller. It has definitely helped me. I have some scoliosis, bulging disc and vertebrae out of place in lower back.

I can only guess, because the compression is not given anywhere online or with the socks. They feel like a 20-30 compression to me... that's the best I can tell you.

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.

I have the medium. Seems to work well for me. I have Thorasic outlet syndrome with poor circulation in my right arm due to an accidental gun shot wound. I love to wear these things. Feels great! Oh, my moms name was Ginny!

I'm not in bed with the metric system every night. But this items is thicker than any clothing item that I have purchased. You have to order a size smaller than you would think you need. It's suppose to fit really tight; like a compression suit, that make you sweat. Unfortunately I wasn't able to experience that luxury, due to some Einstein sending me the wrong size twice, I finally said forget about it.

You can wear it under shirts as long as they are not snug. Works fine under baggy sweatshirts, etc. When wearing compression-wear, you can wear it right over it. As far as when training with it during arm workout, it works fine, I just don't use it much in the gym. I use it primarily playing tennis and working around the house when my arm tendons bothers me.

Compression. One of my favorites - very comfortable, like a sports bra. However, if you have large breasts it may not work for you.

I don't fly, but I do not think it would make a difference But people with blood clotting disorders would not be any safer with compression socks. I would ask my physican.

The material is pretty thick compared to my compression running socks. I don't feel as of it's that breathable. However, it does provide ample compression and I have not pulled a calf muscle since investing in compression sleeves for my calves.

I"m not sure. It's a compression garment. It might be a good idea to contact the manufacturer and ask that question. Here's a link to that page where you cam make the inquiry: http://www.thundershirt.com/ContactUs.aspx

I really don't think this will work. I bought this device for my father, who had a hip replacement surgery recently. He uses some heavy duty socks, which are a little less harder than compression socks. Well, the device worked for that, but honestly I really don't know if this will do the same for compression socks.

There is about 1/4 - 1/2" of compression. I'd suggest you get the 11-18. If you adjust it to 11 1/4" it should be about right.
