Gradient compression stockings are available in numerous levels of compression from a variety of manufacturers. For the relief of mild symptoms and varicosities, 12-18 mmHg is recommended. To treat more chronic symptoms, and more painful varicosities, 20 to 30 mmHg is indicated. For more severe cases, and where a doctor is specifically recommending compression stockings, 30-40 mmHg is available. The most popular brands of support hosiery are Jobst compression stockings, Sigvaris compression stockings, Mediven compression stockings, and Juzo compression stockings.
