It is estimated that approximately 20% of the patients we come in contact with will have venous disease. Approximately 4% of US population has or will develop, a severe manisfestation of venous disease that may account to over 2 million lost work days per year. Medical compression stockings are one of the most important therapeutic adjuncts in management of venous lymphatic diseases.
