Compression Socks for Lymphedema and Swelling | Cashew

Q: How do the Compression Socks for Lymphedema and Swelling | Cashew work? These compression socks use graduated compression technology to apply gentle, consistent pressure that's strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. This helps improve blood circulation, reduces fluid buildup, and prevents swelling in the legs and feet, making them particularly effective for managing lymphedema symptoms.

Q: What compression levels are available and which should I choose? The socks are available in two medical-grade compression levels: 15-20 mmHg (moderate compression) and 20-30 mmHg (firm compression). The 15-20 mmHg level is ideal for mild swelling, everyday wear, and prevention, while the 20-30 mmHg level provides stronger support for moderate lymphedema, varicose veins, and more significant swelling issues.

Q: What sizes do these compression socks come in? We offer a comprehensive size range including S/M, M/L, L/XL, and Wide Calf options in S/M, M/L, and L/XL. The wide calf versions are specifically designed for those who need extra room in the calf area while maintaining proper compression throughout the leg.

Q: Are these compression socks comfortable for all-day wear? Yes! These socks are crafted from breathable materials including cotton, nylon, and merino wool that wick moisture and prevent overheating. The flexible toe pocket and contoured fit ensure comfort during extended wear, making them perfect for professionals, travelers, and anyone who stands or sits for long periods.

Q: Can I wear these compression socks if I have lymphedema? Absolutely. These socks are specifically designed for lymphedema management and swelling reduction. The graduated compression helps prevent fluid accumulation and supports lymphatic drainage. However, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate compression level for your specific condition.

Q: How long should I wear compression socks each day? Most people can safely wear these compression socks throughout the day and remove them at bedtime. For lymphedema management, many healthcare providers recommend wearing them during all waking hours. Always follow your doctor's specific recommendations for your individual needs.

Q: What makes these compression socks different from regular socks? Unlike regular socks, these feature medical-grade graduated compression that provides therapeutic benefits. They're engineered with specific pressure gradients, made from specialized breathable materials, and designed with a contoured fit that maintains consistent compression while offering superior comfort and style.

Q: Are these compression socks suitable for travel? Yes, these socks are excellent for travel! They help prevent blood clots, reduce leg swelling during long flights or car rides, and combat travel-related fatigue. The stylish cashew color and comfortable design make them perfect for wearing with travel outfits while providing essential circulation support.
