How Hugg Compression Works
Graduated pressure that gets stronger toward the ankle, pushing blood flow back toward your heart. Click each zone to learn more.
Maximum compression (25–30 mmHg)
The strongest pressure at the ankle pushes pooled blood upward against gravity. This is where swelling starts — and where Hugg works hardest. Prevents fluid retention and reduces that heavy, achy feeling after long periods standing or sitting.
Moderate compression (18–22 mmHg)
Graduated pressure continues to assist venous return through the calf muscle — the body's natural “second heart” pump. Reduces lactic acid buildup and helps muscles recover faster after exercise or long shifts.
Gentle compression (12–15 mmHg)
Lighter pressure near the top ensures comfortable wear without constricting. Maintains the pressure gradient so blood flows smoothly back toward the heart — completing the graduated compression cycle.
