What are Veinology Flight Socks?
Share
Flight socks (also called compression socks or travel socks) are specially designed socks that apply gentle pressure to your lower legs and ankles to help improve blood circulation during long flights or periods of sitting.
What Do Veinology Flight Socks Do?
• Help prevent blood pooling in the lower legs
• Reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Decrease swelling (oedema) in feet and ankles
• in some people they can reduce feelings of leg fatigue, heaviness, or aching
Who Should Wear Veinology Flight socks?
People on long flight
Anyone with a history of blood clots, varicose veins, or poor circulation who are traveling long distances
Pregnant travellers
People recovering from surgery
Even healthy people who want to avoid leg swelling during travel
How Do They Work?
Veinology Flight socks provide graduated compression—meaning they’re tightest at the ankle and gradually looser up the leg
This promotes venous return (blood flow back to the heart) and helps prevent blood pooling in your lower limbs
Tips for Using Veinology Flight Socks:
Put them on before your flight, preferably before you start walking around too much
They should feel snug but not painful or cutting off circulation
Available in for class 2 compression level —
How Veinology Flight Socks Work – Step by Step:
Veinology Flight socks work by applying gentle, graduated compression to your legs—meaning they’re tightest around your ankles and gradually less tight as they move up your calf. This design helps support your veins and leg muscles, making it easier for blood to flow upward toward your heart, even while you’re sitting still for long periods (like during a flight).
1. Boost Blood Flow
Gravity makes blood pool in your lower legs when you’re sitting or standing still for too long.
Flight socks squeeze the legs gently, helping push that blood back up through the veins toward your heart.
2. Reduce Swelling
By improving circulation, flight socks help prevent blood pooling in your feet and ankles, so you’re less likely to land with puffy legs or tight shoes.
3. Lower the Risk of Blood Clots (DVT)
When blood pools for long periods of time clots can form. These clots (like deep vein thrombosis) can be serious.
Compression helps keep blood moving steadily, reducing that risk.
4. Support Leg Muscles and Veins
The pressure helps your vein valves function more effectively, which improves overall circulation and reduces discomfort like tired or aching legs.
Think of Veinology Flight socks as gently helping to squeeze your legs—keeping blood moving, reducing swelling, and making long travel more comfortable and safer.
