Evexar Medical™ Military Graduated Compression Socks




Evexar Medical™ Military Graduated Compression Socks (GCS) can help meet the very high demands made by military personnel particularly, during endurance or stamina-dependent manoeuvres – all those high energy expenditure activities that form ‘part and parcel’ of a military persons ‘active duty’ day.

Conversely, the side effects of prolonged standing, for example when on parade, on guard duty, or when involved in ceremonial activities, are well documented(1). In similar fashion, sitting for prolonged periods, for example during transportation, or being at a desk, can prompt tired, aching, or swollen legs which in turn, might be associated with the development of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or aggravation of varicose veins

GCS enhance venous return of blood from the lower limbs, back towards the heart. This improvement in the circulation can be theorised, or be shown to:

1. promote warmer muscles and skin, allowing less fatigue and post-exercise ache

2. give an elevated VO2 max – an enhanced aerobic exercise capacity

The compression element provides also, extra support and stability around the ankle region.

GCS provide graduated compression to the ankle and lower limb such that maximal compression occurs at the ankle, with a progressive lessening of compression upwards, towards the knee. This helps ‘direct’ the flow of blood back towards the heart. Blood flow within the veins of the lower limbs can be shown to have an increased velocity when GCS are worn. Given that the circulation is a ‘closed loop system’, the extra volume of blood reaching the heart over any given timeframe must be dealt with by the heart increasing either its’ pumping rate, or increasing its’ ‘stroke volume’ – i.e. the actual volume of blood ejected from the heart per beat. In either case, this extra blood passes to the lungs to be oxygenated, which then passes back to the lower limbs via the arterial tree. Hence, an increased amount of oxygenated, nutrient rich blood gets to the exercising muscles, helping improve stamina and performance.
