The choice of varicose socks depends mainly on the purpose of treatment. If you want to prevent varicose veins by varicose stockings because of the nature of your work which is standing and sitting, you should use medium tube, level one open toe elastic stockings. If varicose veins have already occurred and you want to treat them conservatively with varicose stockings, you should choose long or medium tube, level 2 or higher open toe compression stockings for this condition. The choice of long or medium tube depends on whether the blood vessels have crossed the knee joint. If the varicose vessels cross the knee joint, long compression stockings should be used. If there are no special circumstances, try to use elastic medical stockings on both legs at the same time to improve the comfort level and enable the patient to be very comfortable with the elastic stockings.
