8. These Socks Keep You on Your Feet Stylish compression socks should be considered an oxymoron, but Healthmark Industries managed to make medical stockings stylish with its line of Swanky Athletic Socks. The socks come in eye- catching healthcare-related patterns and are designed with an arch support and hand-stitched bands to increase circulation in the calf and help prevent muscle fatigue. Leg muscle discomfort is a real issue for surgical nurses. I'm stubborn and have never transi- tioned to using compression socks to help reduce the swelling and aches and pains that inevitably occur after 10-hour days of non-stop action on your feet, but many of my colleagues have been forced to wear compression socks to get through long days in the OR and extend their careers. With these fun socks, they can feel good and look even better. 6 2 • O U T PA T I E N T S U R G E R Y M A G A Z I N E • N O V E M B E R 2 0 1 8 Healthmark Industries
