USAGE GUIDELINES
- Prescription & Supervision: Use under the guidance of a healthcare professional, follow the clinician's instructions for duration and frequency.
- Proper Sizing: Measure calf circumference and leg length while the patient is relaxed, and choose a size to avoid folds or overstretching.
- Application Method: Turn the stocking inside out to the heel, insert the foot, then gently unroll and smooth up the leg, ensuring even pressure does not bunch.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect skin through the foot opening for color, temperature, sensation, and any signs of pressure or breakdown.
- When to Remove: Remove immediately and seek medical advice if the patient experiences pain, numbness, tingling, persistent discoloration, or increased swelling.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash in lukewarm water with mild detergent to preserve elasticity and compression profile.
- No Bleach or Fabric Softeners: These agents break down fibers and reduce compression effectiveness.
- Drying: Lay flat to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.
- Inspect Regularly: Check for thinning, runs, holes, or stretched areas. Replace stockings when compression feels reduced or visible wear appears.
- Storage: Store flat or rolled loosely in a cool, dry place avoid sharp objects and lotions with petroleum that can damage fibers.
