A multilayer compression stocking or bandage system comprises a plurality of layers, including an underlayer and at least one overlayer, each of which ma y have predetermined amounts of compressive pressure at discrete locations. In one aspect, the underlayer has one or more alignment markings, each position ed at a different location on the underlayer to assist in aligning discrete locations of compressive pressure on the lower extremities. In another aspec t, each of the layers has one or more alignment markings, each alignment markin g positioned at a different location on the respective layer, and each alignme nt marking on a layer corresponds to a different one of the alignment markings on each other layer. When alignment markings on each layer are aligned with corresponding markings on each other layer, discrete locations of specific amounts of compressive pressure on each layer can be properly aligned, resulting in accurate higher pressures at particular anatomical locations an d proper pressure gradations along the length of the leg.
