Jobst is a globally recognized medical compression therapy brand founded in 1950 in Toledo, Ohio, United States, by Conrad Jobst, a German-born mechanical engineer and inventor whose work established the scientific foundation of graduated (gradient) compression. Jobst originated from Conrad Jobst’s personal struggle with chronic venous insufficiency, which drove him to study hydrostatic pressure, blood flow mechanics, and the therapeutic effects of external compression—insights he famously observed while standing in water—leading to garments that apply higher pressure at the ankle and progressively lower pressure up the limb.
In its earliest phase, Jobst transformed compression from crude elastic supports into medically engineered therapeutic devices by applying precise engineering principles to custom elastic textiles. These innovations fundamentally advanced phlebology and lymphology, proving that controlled pressure could improve venous return, reduce swelling, and prevent complications such as venous ulcers and thrombosis. After Conrad Jobst’s death in 1957, his wife Caroline Jobst expanded the company’s reach, introducing ready-to-wear vascular garments, consumer support stockings, anti-embolism stockings, and post-surgical compression products, enabling worldwide distribution across all continents.
Parallel to the U.S. business, Jobst’s European lineage developed through VARITEX, founded in 1953 in Emmerich, Germany, where specialists used hand-operated flat-knit machines to create made-to-measure stockings for clinical needs. In 1983, Beiersdorf acquired VARITEX, and later acquired JOBST USA in 1990, renaming VARITEX to JOBST Germany in 1992. These operations were integrated into BSN Medical in 2001, consolidating Jobst’s global medical compression expertise.
Over subsequent decades, Jobst evolved into a leader in medical-grade compression solutions, expanding its portfolio to include compression stockings, socks, arm sleeves, wraps, bandaging systems, and custom-made garments. Jobst products are used clinically and preventively to manage varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), edema, lymphedema, lipedema, venous ulcers, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention, as well as for post-surgical recovery, pregnancy support, travel-related swelling, and occupational leg fatigue.
A defining characteristic of Jobst is its clinical precision and therapeutic performance. Garments are engineered and classified by exact compression levels measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) to ensure consistent, reproducible pressure across diverse anatomies. This accuracy—paired with professional fitting protocols, patient education, and adherence programs—has made Jobst a trusted standard among vascular surgeons, phlebologists, lymphedema therapists, wound-care specialists, orthopedic professionals, and pharmacists, clearly differentiating it from lifestyle or fashion compression brands.
Today, Jobst operates under Essity, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, benefiting from advanced textile research, global manufacturing, and international healthcare distribution. The brand serves 80+ countries through pharmacies, hospitals, medical supply stores, and online healthcare retailers, and continues to innovate in breathability, moisture management, durability, ease of donning, skin friendliness, and long-term comfort. With more than 70 years of continuous innovation, Jobst is widely regarded as a heritage authority in compression therapy, shaping global standards in vein health, circulation support, and lymphatic care for both medical treatment and everyday mobility..
