Overview

About Absolute Support

Absolute Support provides high quality, medical grade compression at value pricing. All Absolute Support socks are designed with your health and comfort in mind. Identical to high end brands, we take 4-6 compression measurements at precise intervals between the ankle and end of garment. Multiple measurements guarantee our garments are comfortable and deliver an accurate distribution of the pressure gradient.

Apparel Attire

Compression knee high socks are specifically made to reduce swelling and promote blood circulation between your heart and your legs. By applying pressure to your calves, these socks provide comfortability and health benefits in a versatile and customizable way. Stockings that rise to just below the knee help limit lower leg swelling due to fluid buildup. They may also help prevent venous ulcers and can prevent the development of blood clots in the leg — especially if used after surgery or when you may be inactive for a while.

Material

Opaque: The term “opaque stockings” is used to describe hosiery that tends to be non-translucent Opaque stockings are usually about 50 deniers or higher in weight, thus achieving its thick appearance. Opaque stockings can be made from a variety of materials, including nylon. Opaque stockings combine outstanding functionality with an especially soft and pleasant feel. Their refined opacity discreetly hides blemishes while effective moisture management and ease of donning support everyday comfort. As you might imagine, a sheer is going to be a bit more breathable than an opaque stocking. An opaque is wonderful for cooler months when you want the extra warmth. An opaque stocking will effectively hide very pronounced varicosities or unwanted sunspots, while the sheer will cover your legs, but still mildly expose your skin. 

Fiber Content: 65% Nylon, 35% Spandex

Available in Plus Size

At Discount Surgical Stockings, we stand behind size-inclusivity for all categories and we proudly offer a variety of options for every style, shape, and budget. Our plus-size compression garments are designed to provide the medical compression support for extra wide sizes. These strong, surgical weight compression socks give you the graduated compression doctors recommend, especially for lymphedema patients.

Compression: 20-30 mmhg (Firm Support)

If wearing a lower compression does not seem to be minimizing the swelling in your legs enough, higher-grade (or medical grade) compression may be more effective. Usually, people who suffer from swelling can benefit from 20-30 mmHg socks. These can help them alleviate symptoms of moderate to severe edema and varicose veins. Compression stockings 20-30 mmHg may also help after surgery on the advice of a doctor and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) from sitting for too long. They are specially formulated to relieve pain in the legs and calves, venous ulcers, edema, and other diseases of the lower extremities. The 20-30 mmHg compression stockings from Discount Surgical Stockings have medical-grade standards and beautiful designs that are designed to fit any aesthetic. These socks can help reduce swelling, relieve leg pain, and prevent venous ulcers. These socks are recommended for people with mild to moderate conditions. The range of 20-30 mmHg compression socks features many styles that can match any wardrobe or personal style.

QA
Nowhere in the size charts do I find an input for length. As a short person, 5'1", the length of a sock from base of heel to back of knee that might fit people taller than 5'4" & over very well. On a short person if the length is too long when pulled up firmly, requiring them to be folded over at the top cuff, that essentially creates tourniquet effect. Not a good plan if you are trying to If too loose when pulled up all the to the back of the knee, wrinkles result forming mini-tourniquets towards lower calf & ankle. In the past I have been able to find length of socks at 14 or 15" heel to knee. Asked by Virginia Vargas

This specific item doesn't come with a length option. When laid flat, this item measures 15-18 inches.

    Thicker than the Juzo and less than 1/2 the price! 0 people found this helpful
    Overall

    Fit

    These are really supportive and seem to wash and wear better than the spendy ones sold to me at the place my insurance covers. I like these Absolute Support better, they seem to go on and fit well keeping the compression where it's needed at my ankles and feet. They are a little thicker than the Juzo ones but those are already showing wear in the foot after only 3 weeks! I Highly recommend these Absolute Support.

    The toe and heel are easy to get into the right spot, the top band is wide so it doesn't want to roll, they seem to wash and wear well so far and hold shape and support well.

    They are a little thicker than the Juzo but not sure if that's bad as they will wear better.

    great open-toe knee-highs 1 people found this helpful
    Overall

    Fit

    Great open-toe knee-highs, at a great price. Open-toe is helpful because the "balloon" for toes in regular closed knee-highs is now too small, compressing my toes. Open-toe is much more comfortable! I need to wear a sock over then, which is appropriate during cold weather anyway. The black opaque is great with skirts or pants. I'm guessing the tan/natural opaque is likely to look more like my grandmother's think support 1960 stockings. (still OK with pants)
    Was this review helpful?

    toes are "free", not subject to too-tight stocking. Also good if wearing open-toe shoe or sandal.

    requires a sock to be worn to cover my toes. (not if wearting open-toe shoe or sandal, but then I'd not choose opque hose).

    Fit

    The thinner material fits better in shoes but is strong and provides great compression. My legs no longer hurt all day. I measured my calves & ankles and ordered according to the sizing chart, and they fit perfectly. I am super happy with this purchase and have already ordered more!
