- Compression stockings are like pantyhose or tights, but they’re made from a different material and serve a different purpose. While you may wear an ordinary stocking for style or to protect your legs, compression stockings have an elastic fabric designed to fit tightly around the ankles, legs, and thighs. These stockings are tighter around the ankle and less tight around the calves and thighs.
The pressure created by the stockings pushes fluid up the leg, which allows blood to flow freely from the legs to the heart. Compression stockings not only improve blood flow, they also reduce swelling and pain. They are particularly recommended for DVT because the pressure stops blood from pooling and clotting.
In this video, Lisa demonstrates the proper application of an elastic stocking.

HI Delian.
Thank you for watching our videos! I assume you mean gloves?
This is not part of the skill requirement for the Colorado state exam.
Where’s a video when a patient has a swollen foot.
Hi Jesus, No kidding! Swollen legs and feet make the stocking a much more daunting task. Fortunately and unfortunately my manikin does not have limbs that swell. Get those stockings on before the patient's leg is lower than the body (dependent) to prevent too much edema before applying. First thing in the morning is the way to go!
