What mmHg Compression Level is Best for Nurses?
Graduated compression is measured in mmHg — the higher the number, the firmer the support. Here's how Australian nurses choose their compression level.
| Compression level | Best for | BIOSx range | For nursing shifts? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15–20 mmHg (Moderate) | Those who prefer more mild support — everyday wear, long-haul flights & travel | Departures Travel Range | Good for shorter shifts |
| 20–25 mmHg (Firm) | Long shifts, prolonged standing, leg fatigue & swelling | Everyday 24/7 | ✓ The nurse's favourite choice |
| 30+ mmHg | Generally recommended for medical indications — not daily use unless required | Speak to your GP or health professional | Only if clinically required |

Frequently Asked Questions About Compression Socks for Nurses
How do I find the perfect size for me?
Compression socks should be fitted using both your shoe size and calf measurement, not shoe size alone. BIOSx offers standard and larger-calf options to help you find a secure, comfortable fit without excessive digging, pinching or slipping.
Measure your calf at its widest point, then check our size guide before ordering. Still unsure? Contact our team and we’ll help you choose the best size for your measurements.
What mmHg compression level is best for nurses?
Most nurses choose firm 20–25 mmHg graduated compression for long shifts. This falls within medical-grade support that is also used for varicose veins or post-surgery swelling.
BIOSx Everyday 24/7 and Elite Performance socks provide firm 20-25 mmHg graduated compression, while BIOSx Departures provides lighter 15-20 mmHg graduated compression. Please reach out if you are unsure which level is appropriate for you.
Are BIOSx compression socks TGA listed?
Yes. All BIOSx compression socks are listed with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) as a Class 1 Medical Device — ARTG 462085. Health rebates may apply. Check with your provider.
Are compression socks tax deductible for nurses?
Because BIOSx compression socks are TGA-listed therapeutic goods, they may be tax deductible as a work-related expense for nurses and healthcare workers, and may be claimable on private health insurance extras — depending on your individual circumstances. Check with your accountant or health fund.
I have larger calves — will they fit?

Can I wear compression socks for a long 12-hour shift?
BIOSx Everyday 24/7 socks are specifically designed for extended daytime wear, making them ideal for long shifts and all-day support. They should generally be removed before sleeping unless a medical professional has advised you to wear compression socks overnight.
Can I sleep in compression socks?
BIOSx Compression Socks are designed for extended daytime wear, including long shifts and prolonged periods on your feet. We recommend removing them before bed unless a medical professional has specifically advised you to wear compression socks while sleeping.
When should Nurses put compression socks on?
Compression socks are generally easiest to put on at the beginning of the day, before prolonged standing or swelling has developed.
Are BIOSx Compression Socks clinically shown to help?
Yes. Graduated compression is supported by clinical research and has been shown to help reduce lower-leg swelling, discomfort and feelings of tired, heavy legs, particularly during prolonged standing.
In a real-world 12-hour standing trial, participants wearing regular socks experienced significant lower-leg muscle fatigue, swelling and discomfort. Those wearing 15–20 mmHg or 20–30 mmHg compression socks showed no significant change from their starting measurements.
BIOSx Everyday 24/7 Socks provide firm 20–25 mmHg graduated compression, which falls within the compression range studied. The broader clinical evidence also supports medical-grade compression socks for helping manage venous symptoms and lower-leg oedema
Your legs work a 12-hour shift. Your socks should too.
BIOSx keeps your legs supported, your feet cushioned and every step comfortable through all 12 hours, so you finish your shift with lighter legs, happier feet and energy left for life after work.
