Before going into why it is important, let’s first talk about what blood pressure is. Generally speaking, blood pressure is a measure of force that your heart uses to pump blood around your body. If your blood pressure is high, it means that your body needs more force to circulate blood around your body leading to serious long-term health conditions, such as heart diseases, strokes, kidney disease, vascular dementia, etc.

Graduated Compression Benefits

If you are standing or sitting for long periods of time, the calf muscles are not contracting to squeeze the veins carrying blood from the lower limbs back to the heart. OPPO Compression Stockings help promote blood circulation and improve valve function by applying graduated compression on the lower limbs. The pressure is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. The gradient compression exerted from the stockings provides a pumping effect to accelerate blood flow in the legs upward to the heart, reducing the accumulation of blood in the lower limbs and eliminating resultant edema.
