Removing the Confusion

Taking the confusion out of understanding the levels of compression for socks. Compression socks have a range of numbers to indicate how much graduated compression the garment has. The standard compression levels for compression socks are 15-20 mmHg (over the counter), 20-30 mmHg (medical class 1), 30-40 mmHg (medical class 2) and 40-50 mmHg (medical class 3). There are other levels of compression, however these are standardized and the most commonly used.
