Does a run in compression hosiery affect the compression?
It is possible for runs to affect the compression of the garment. This depends on factors such as the severity and location of the run. For example, a single small run confined to the upper thigh or panty area will not affect the compression of the lower leg where the stated ankle pressure is determined. A localized decrease of compression may occur in the area directly under the run. If the run is moderate to severe, improved hemodynamic in the area beneath the run may not occur. As always, if you have concerns about wearing the garment please consult your medical professional. If we have not covered any of your questions please feel free to contact us.
