USAGE GUIDELINES
- Clinical Indications: Recommended for patients at risk of thromboembolism, during post-operative recovery, or when prolonged immobility is expected.
- Measurement & Fit: Confirm calf circumference and leg length prior to selection to ensure therapeutic compression. Incorrect sizing can reduce effectiveness.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Regular Cleaning: Hand wash in lukewarm water using a mild detergent after each day or per facility protocol to remove oils and residues that degrade elastic fibers.
- Machine Washing (if necessary): Place stockings in a mesh laundry bag and use the gentle cycle with cold water avoid harsh detergents and bleach.
- Drying: Lay flat to air dry away from direct heat sources and sunlight. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean as high heat damages elasticity.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners or bleach these agents reduce compression performance and shorten product life.
- Storage: Store flat or rolled without tight folds in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and stress on elastic threads.
