AB The  well-manufactured  and  properly  fitted  compression  stocking  is  the  cornerstone  of  long-term  treatment  for  chronic  venous  insufficiency.  It  allows  most  persons  with  serious  venous  reflux  to  perform  upright  activity  while  controlling  symptoms  and  interrupting  the  otherwise  steady  progression  of  the  disease.  Symptoms  are  reduced  and  the  quality  of  life  improved  even  after  4  weeks  of  applying  compression  stockings  [1].  In  a  review  of  many  randomized  controlled  trials,  graduated  pressure  from  ankle  to  calf  was  high  effective  in  venous  reflux  disorders;  the  effect  was  most  evident  among  those  who  must  stand  for  prolonged  times  [2].
