Stocking\nDesign and Care Truform's 6 Points of Compression Truform measures support\nvalues at precise locations along the length of the stocking - 4 points for\nbelow knee, 6 points for thigh length and pantyhose styles. These measurements\nhelp insure that the compression or support knit in to the stocking is\ndistributed properly along the length of the leg – greatest at the ankle,\nreducing upwards toward the heart. Multiple measurements guarantee that all\nTruform legwear styles are comfortable to wear, and provide the proper amount\nof elastic compression therapy, in all the right places. Graduated compression\nstockings, when properly sized and fit, are designed to help improve\ncirculation, which in turn, will help soothe tired, heavy legs, reduce\nswelling, and relieve varicose veins. Washing and Care Wash gently with mild\nsoap or detergent in lukewarm or cold water. Do not wring or twist. Rinse\nuntil water is clear. Roll in a towel to remove excess moisture. Dry flat away\nfrom heat and sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Truform","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ X-Large (1 Pair) \/ Closed Toe","offer_id":45784669126725,"sku":"B004OF8GGM","price":129.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/4174\/8293\/files\/B004OF8GGM.jpg?v=1789622901","url":"https:\/\/beesactive.com\/products\/truform-surgical-stockings-18-mmhg-compression-for-men-and-women-thigh-high-length-closed-toe-black-x-large-1-pair","provider":"BeesActive Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
