Support Hose

Description

Support hose, also known as compression stockings, are specialized medical garments designed to improve blood circulation and provide support to the legs.

Support hose come in various styles, including knee-high, thigh-high, and full-length, and are commonly used by individuals with conditions such as varicose veins, lymphedema, and deep vein thrombosis.
