BENEFITS
- Supports Venous Circulation: Encourages blood flow from the lower leg toward the heart, reducing venous stasis.
- Helps Reduce DVT Risk: Clinical gradient compression assists in lowering the likelihood of clot formation in immobile patients.

- Durable Performance: Reinforced areas and stable knit construction extend product life and maintain compression efficacy.
- Improved Fit and Alignment: Anatomical shaping and reinforced heel ensure the stocking stays in the correct position for reliable therapy.
USAGE GUIDELINES
- Follow Prescriber Instructions: Always use as directed by a physician or licensed clinician regarding duration and frequency of wear.
- Correct Sizing Is Essential: Measure calf circumference and heel-to-knee length to choose the appropriate size for accurate compression levels.
- Application Tip: Turn the stocking inside out to the heel, insert the foot, position the heel, and slowly unroll the stocking up the calf avoid overstretching.
- Check Fit: Ensure the heel sits in the heel pocket and fabric is smooth without bunching, and wrinkling can reduce effectiveness and cause pressure points.
- When to Wear: Typically applied during bed rest, immediately post-operation, or whenever immobility is expected. Use only under medical guidance for other situations.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Routine Cleaning: Hand wash in lukewarm or cold water with mild detergent to preserve elastic recovery and compression.
- Gentle Machine Wash: If machine washing, place stockings inside a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle or delicate cycle avoid heavy agitation.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.
- Inspect Regularly: Check for thinning, runs, or loss of elasticity, replace when compression performance is reduced, or fabric shows wear.
- Storage: Store flat or rolled gently in a cool, dry place. Avoid sharp objects and rough surfaces that can snag the knit.
