Scholl compression hosiery in the management of venous disorders

Graduated compression hosiery has an important role in the management of venous leg ulcers by counteracting chronic venous hypertension. The historically high rates of venous ulcer recurrence can be significantly reduced by optimizing compliance with the wearing of support hosiery. This is facilitated by providing information, practical support and opportunities for regular professional monitoring. Compliance is also aided by ensuring that the garment fits correctly and is comfortable and by offering the client a choice of products from those available.
