Compression Therapy Solutions
Patients with vascular conditions face daily challenges - swelling, discomfort, mobility issues, and risk of complications like DVT. These conditions significantly impact their quality of life and require immediate, effective intervention to prevent progression and improve outcomes.
Proper compression therapy is clinically proven to treat edema, chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, lymphatic disorders, POTS, orthostatic hypotension, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions - Compression Therapy
What is compression therapy?
Compression therapy uses specially fitted stockings, wraps, or garments that apply gentle pressure to promote healthy blood flow, reduce swelling, and prevent fluid buildup in the legs. It’s a proven treatment for conditions such as chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, edema, and lymphedema.
Why does proper fitting matter?
Improperly fitted compression garments can cause discomfort or restrict circulation.
Vantage’s certified fitters take precise leg measurements and recommend the correct compression strength (15–40 mmHg) and garment style so patients receive full therapeutic benefit without pain, slipping, or irritation.
Which patients benefit from compression therapy?
Compression therapy can help patients who experience:
  • Swelling, aching, or heaviness in the legs
  • Varicose veins or venous insufficiency
  • Lymphedema or post-surgical edema
  • Pregnancy-related swelling
  • Occupational swelling from prolonged standing or sitting
Where can patients get fitted?
Vantage offers fittings at five regional branches or in your office with our measuring guide. Patients can be measured during an appointment at your clinic using our measuring guide, then scheduled for pickup at a local branch.
How much pressure do patients need?
Compression levels vary by condition and prescription:
  • 15–20 mmHg: mild swelling, prevention, pregnancy
  • 20–30 mmHg: moderate edema, varicose veins
  • 30–40 mmHg: severe edema, post-surgical use, lymphedema
Our fitters work closely with your prescribing provider to determine the appropriate level for each patient.
Are compression garments covered by insurance?
Yes—many prescriptions qualify for coverage.
Vantage manages all insurance verification and documentation, simplifying the process for both your office and your patients.
What brands and styles do you carry?
We carry trusted, clinically proven products from JUZO and JOBST, including:
  • Knee-highs, thigh-highs, and pantyhose
  • Wraps and specialty garments for complex cases
How long do compression stockings last?
With proper care, compression garments typically last 4–6 months.
Vantage offers automatic reorder reminders and patient support materials to help maintain compliance and results.
How do patients put them on correctly?
Our team teaches every patient how to apply, remove, and care for their stockings safely.
We also provide step-by-step written and video instructions to reinforce learning and reduce misuse.
What if a patient’s legs change size?
Leg swelling or healing progress can affect fit.
Patients can schedule free re-measurements at any Vantage location to ensure continued comfort and effectiveness.
Can compression therapy be used with wound care?
Yes. Compression improves circulation and supports healing of venous ulcers and other chronic wounds.
Vantage coordinates compression and wound-care supplies for a complete, compliant therapy program.
