FAQ

How does chronic venous disease prevalence vary globally? Venous disease affects approximately forty percent of Western adults; similar or higher rates in populations with high obesity and sedentary work; historically underdiagnosed in Asia and Latin America from lower awareness; growing recognition as populations adopt Western lifestyle patterns.

What barriers limit compression therapy adoption in emerging markets? Low chronic venous disease awareness, limited vascular specialist infrastructure, cultural acceptance of compression garments, cost sensitivity for premium European brands, limited insurance coverage, lack of trained fitting professionals, and patient compliance challenges from climate (heat reducing tolerance for compression garments).
