VARICOSE VEIN STOCKINGS AG XXL

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Varicose Vein Stockings AG XXL (Extra-Extra-Large thigh-high compression garments featuring an anatomically contoured weave and non-slip silicone top band) provide targeted, graduated pressure across the lower extremities:
• Graduated Hemodynamic Pressure: Applies peak compressive pressure at the ankle that gradually decreases up the calf and upper thigh ($\text{AG}$ level). This targeted pressure gradient counters gravity, supporting weakened venous valves to drive deoxygenated blood back toward the heart.
• Venous Stasis & Fluid Reduction: Reduces the luminal diameter of dilated superficial veins, accelerating blood flow velocity and diminishing fluid extravasation into surrounding tissue space to relieve heavy lower-leg edema.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis ($\text{DVT}$) Prophylaxis: Inhibits blood pooling in deep leg veins during extended periods of immobility, post-operative bed rest, or recovery, reducing the risk of thrombus formation.

Clinical Indications & Uses

• Varicose Vein Stockings AG XXL are indicated for:
• Management of moderate-to-severe varicose veins, spider veins, and advanced chronic venous insufficiency ($\text{CVI}$)
• Reduction of lower limb edema, severe leg fatigue, aching, and nocturnal muscle cramps caused by prolonged standing or sitting
• Post-procedural compression therapy following sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation ($\text{EVLT}$), or vein stripping surgeries

Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions

Administration:

• Apply early in the morning before leg swelling initiates. Turn the garment inside out down to the heel, insert foot, pull over the heel, and unroll evenly up to the upper thigh. Smooth out any wrinkles without pulling excessively on the top silicone band.

Sizing & Garment Care:

• Size: Extra Extra Large ($\text{XXL}$). Measure ankle, calf, and upper thigh circumferences against manufacturer sizing charts before fitting.
• Care: Hand wash gently in lukewarm water with mild soap. Air dry flat away from direct heat or sun exposure to maintain fiber elasticity.

Precautions & Warnings:

• For external lower extremity support only. Contraindicated in patients with severe peripheral arterial disease ($\text{PAD}$ / $\text{ABPI} < 0.5$), severe peripheral neuropathy, uncompensated heart failure, or active phlegmasia cerulea dolens. Discontinue use and consult a physician if numbness, skin discoloration, severe pain, or skin ulcers develop. Store in a cool, dry place.
