The JOBST® Graduated Therapy knee-high stocking delivers 20–30 mmHg firm graduated compression to the ankle and calf. With a closed-toe design and durable knit, it is a common choice for daily support of moderate varicose veins, post-sclerotherapy recovery, and occupational leg fatigue.
This ready-to-wear style is part of the Graduated Therapy line and does not require custom measurements.
Who Is This For?
This knee-high is ideal for people whose symptoms are below the knee, including calf swelling, aching, or visible varicose veins. Because 20–30 mmHg is a firm level, confirm with a healthcare provider that it matches your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions is 20–30 mmHg used for?
20–30 mmHg is often used for moderate varicose veins, mild-to-moderate edema, post-sclerotherapy support, and DVT risk reduction during travel per provider guidance.
Can I wear these without a prescription?
Many ready-to-wear 20–30 mmHg garments are sold without a prescription, but this level is often a clinical decision. Check with your provider.
Should I choose knee-high or thigh-high?
Knee-highs are usually enough when symptoms are below the knee. Choose thigh-high or waist-high if swelling or vein issues extend above the knee.
How do I measure for knee-high stockings?
Measure ankle circumference above the ankle bone and calf circumference at the widest part. Take measurements in the morning before swelling builds.
How tight should these feel?
Firm and snug but not painful. If you experience numbness, tingling, or discoloration, remove the garment and consult a clinician.
How often should I replace them?
Every 3–6 months with daily wear, or sooner if the fabric stretches out or compression feels reduced.
