PY - 2021 T2 - Venous Insufficiency AB - The rationale for compression leg garments is to simulate the effect of standing in deep water, as described earlier. They compress the superficial veins and soft tissues and protect against high intravenous pressure in them generated by standing and walking. In effect, the ideal elastic garment permits one to walk around in his or her own simulated swimming pool throughout the day. Indeed, compression wraps and garments make up the cardinal interventions for long-term, successful therapy of venous valvular reflux disease.
