- Gradient compression
socks or stockings, such as Jobst Gradient Compression Hosiery, deliver
pressure at the ankle that gradually decreases as it extends up the
leg, helping to move blood back to the heart. This activity reduces
blood pooling in the legs and helps prevent the symptoms associated
with "Economy Class Syndrome" (ECS) and the risk for a more serious
leg condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

- To help
prevent ECS and DVT, air travelers should wear medical-grade gradient
compression hosiery, such as Jobst Gradient Compression Hosiery,
which offers the most accurate fit based on ankle and calf circumferences.
Proper fit guarantees delivery of the most precise and effective
gradient compression profile to the legs.
