Vive Wear's Medical Compression Socks with patented micro-current technology were designed for treatment of venous ulcers and diabetic wounds by applying the compression sock (with 15mmHg-20mmHg compression) directly in contact with lower-extremity wounds. When 30mmHg-40mmHg of compression is prescribed, a separate sleeve (additional 15mmHg-20mmHg) is applied on top of the compression sock.
