- Secure, Stay-Put Fit: Silicone strips and thoughtful construction prevent rolling without tight bands.
- Skin-Safe: Latex-free materials reduce allergy risk and suit sensitive skin.
USAGE GUIDELINES
- Intended Use: For patients who are bedridden, recovering from surgery, or otherwise immobile, use under clinical guidance.
- How to Put On: Turn the stocking inside out to the heel, position the foot, then gently roll or pull the fabric up the leg, smoothing out wrinkles as you go; avoid overstretching.
- When to Wear: Typically worn during periods of immobility or as directed by a healthcare provider. Remove for skin inspection at least once per day.
- Compatibility: Can be used alongside pneumatic devices or sequential compression under a clinician's direction.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Washing: Hand wash with mild detergent in lukewarm water, gently squeeze, do not wring to remove excess water.
- Machine Washing: If machine washing is necessary, place in a mesh laundry bag and use a delicate cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
- Drying: Lay flat to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid tumble drying, which can damage elastic fibers.
- Storage: Store flat or rolled lightly in a cool, dry place, keep away from sharp objects, oils, and lotions that can degrade fabric.
- Inspection & Replacement: Inspect seams, toe, and heel for thinning, replace when compression feels less firm or fabric shows wear.
