摘要

The invention relates to a compression stocking specifically designed for the treatment of symptomatic venous insufficiency classed as moderate, serious or severe (≥ C2 in the CEAP classification), composed of an elastic sleeve that is deformable in at least one direction and that is designed to exert a progressive pressure one at least one part of the region between the zone enveloping the ankle and the zone enveloping the calf, the zone enveloping the ankle having a low pressure of between 8 and 16 mm Hg at the smallest perimeter of the ankle (B), and the zone enveloping the calf having a high pressure of greater than 20 mm Hg at the greatest perimeter of the calf (C).
