Merino Wool Compression Socks

VIM & VIGR compression legwear is scientifically designed to support your legs all day, every day. Using integrally knit graduated compression, VIM & VIGR compression socks apply therapeutic pressure that starts at the ankle and gradually eases above. By squeezing the leg from the bottom up, VIM & VIGR compression socks for nurses can help increase the circulation of freshly oxygenated blood back to your legs.

Compression socks make the best socks for nurses to alleviate achiness and heaviness, energize legs, and prevent swelling. Happy legs and feet mean healthier nurses—which is a win for everyone!

 Learn why nurses should wear compression socks.

Nurses can benefit from varying levels of graduated pressure. Many nurses start with 15-20 mmHg compression and work their way up to 20-30 mmHg compression as they need more support. Ultimately, it’s about what is most comfortable all day and helps your legs feel most relieved after work.

A sock pressure of 15-20 mmHg is great to start with, because it gives a gentle “squeeze” to your legs all day long, without becoming “too much.” Many nurses who are our valued customers prefer this level of compression during all types of situations and activities. However, those nurses who either have pre-existing conditions or already have varicose veins may want to try 20-30 mmHg compression socks.

Compression socks are a great idea for nurses who want to prevent varicose veins, achy legs, and other complications that come with being on your feet for so long. Most nurses wear 15-20 mmHg as their compression level, however some nurses with chronic illness prefer the 20-30 mmHg compression range. Most nurses wear knee high compression socks with their scrubs throughout their shifts. Most healthcare professionals recommend compression stockings to patients, but they can be equally important for themselves. Increasing blood circulation during a long shift can have great health benefits and preventative results.
