- Discomfort Protocol: If you experience numbness, increased pain, tingling, or discoloration, remove the stocking and consult a healthcare provider immediately.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Routine Cleaning: Hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent after each day of use or according to hospital laundering policy.
- Machine Wash Guidance: If machine washing is necessary, place stockings in a mesh laundry bag and select a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight, and avoid tumble drying to preserve elasticity.
- Do Not Bleach or Iron: Bleach and high heat will degrade the elastic fibers and reduce compression effectiveness.
- Storage: Store flat or gently rolled in a cool, dry place; avoid hanging by the waistband, which may stretch the elastic.
