Compression stockings are typically classified based on their compression level, style, and therapeutic use. Generally, they fall into these categories:
1. **Graduated Compression**: These stockings exert higher pressure at the ankle and gradually decrease up the leg, promoting blood flow.
2. **Compression Levels**: They are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and categorized into light (8-15 mmHg), moderate (15-20 mmHg), strong (20-30 mmHg), and very strong (30-40 mmHg).
3. **Styles**: Available styles include knee-high, thigh-high, and pantyhose, catering to different needs and preferences.
