Varicose veins is derived from the word ‘varix’, which means curved in Latin. Varicose veins are called varicose veins when the veins in the legs expand and form folds by irregularly extending and bending. Compression stockings are garments in which strong pressure is applied at the ankle and the pressure decreases as you go up. The application of the strongest pressure on the ankle and the gradual decrease of this pressure as you go up in accordance with the standard helps the leg muscles to fulfil their mechanical functions naturally and helps the blood to return.

Indications

Why Personalised Compression Stockings:

Compression stockings are produced according to standards. However, every person has a special anatomy. According to research, 20% of compression stockings users are not anatomically suitable for standard sizes. The most important point to benefit from compression stockings is to use the appropriate size product. People who cannot use standard-sized compression stockings should consult a professional and use personalised compression stockings produced in sizes suitable for their anatomy.

Benefits of Personalised Compression Stockings:

Thanks to the special compression stockings produced in accordance with your leg, compression is given to the right points at the right degrees, providing maximum efficiency.

For whom Personalised Compression Stockings are necessary

If your leg measurements do not fit the standard leg measurement chart, if the leg circumference is wide-narrow or long-short outside the standards, if there is a significant difference between the right and left leg circumference, if the leg length and circumference measurements are not compatible with each other, it will be appropriate to use personalised compression stockings.

How to take measurements for personalised compression stockings:

The circumference and length measurements to be taken vary according to the model of the stocking (below the knee, above the knee, pantyhose). Measurements should be taken separately for each pressure point. Our company provides training to the authorities of medical device sales points or pharmacies, which are our dealers, to take patient leg measurements for personalised compression stockings. A certificate of participation in the training is issued to the personnel of our dealers who receive this training.

Why Variteks Personalised Compression Stockings:

Variteks has reached the ability to produce personalised compression stockings thanks to its experience of more than 60 years and recently increased compression stocking production capacity. The fact that orders are placed from abroad and as a result, the patient cannot get personalised compression stockings quickly and has to bear high costs due to imports has led us to produce in this field.

In addition to the machine park required for the production of personalised compression stockings, the pressure test process, which is one of the most important issues in compression stockings, is carried out in our personalised compression stockings pressure test machine. In this sense, this work of Variteks, which is the first and only Turkish company that produces personalised compression stockings, has emerged as a result of a project supported by TÜBİTAK.
