These are elastic stockings which exert a set amount of pressure on one's legs. This helps blood return through the veins towards the heart. They prevent blood clots from forming when the blood pools in the legs and coagulates. The danger is that these blood clots could cause a pulmonary embolism (a clot blocking the blood supply to the lungs).
