One of the major challenges with employing compression therapy is to create a balance between the effectiveness of the compression being applied and the level of comfort the patient experiences.

Poor or non-compliance of wearing compression stockings is a significant problem with a high number of patients.

This can often be attributed directly to discomfort from donning and doffing compression stockings and while wearing them.

For many decades compression therapy has been recognized by the medical community as a very important tool in the management of venous disorders.

Graduated compression stockings can not only boost venous blood circulation, but are also beneficial in relieving symptoms of tiredness, achiness, heaviness and swelling in the legs.  By alleviating many of these symptoms they can also prevent or delay the beginning of skin changes or ulcers.

BSN a major global player in the field of medical device manufacturing just introduced an innovative improvement for patient comfort with knee high compression stockings.

Utilizing newly developed silicone fibers BSN has created a SoftFit(T) stocking that makes getting support stockings on and off much easier for the patient.

In addition, a soft lining at the top of the stocking promises previously unmatched comfort for the patients.  BSN states that this new technology will increase both patient compliance and wearing satisfaction.
