1. Functional differences:
Pressure socks are used to treat varicose veins, vasculitis, venous thrombosis and other venous diseases of lower limbs.
Stovepipe socks are used for stovepipe and beautiful legs.
2. The materials of pressure socks and stovepipe socks are different:
Pressure socks are medical elastic socks made of special elastic materials such as DuPont Lycra and cotton fiber.
Stovepipe socks are common materials such as nylon, so stovepipe socks are also very cheap.
3. The units of pressure socks and stovepipe socks are also different
Pressure socks are divided into units according to pressure. Pressure socks are generally divided into
Primary pressure is mainly to prevent varicose veins;
Secondary pressure is mainly the treatment of mild varicose veins and the recovery treatment after varicose veins surgery;
Tertiary pressure is mainly used to treat severe varicose veins.
The unit of stovepipe socks is Denny number (d), such as 180D, 240D, 280D, 360D, 420D, etc. Theoretically, the greater the Denny number, the greater the pressure. But the greater the pressure, the better the effect.
