- Slip-Proof Silicone Top Band (thigh high only): Reduces the risk of roll-down during wear.

- Hospital-Approved: Trusted by healthcare professionals for optimal patient care.
Ideal For:
- Preventing DVT after surgery.
- Long-term bed rest or immobility.
- General circulation support in at-risk patients.
Recommendation for nurses:
- If the ankle measurement is within the recommended sizes but the thigh measurement is too large, then a below knee stocking should be fitted.
- If the calf measurement on a knee length falls outside the recommended range, then no stocking should be fitted to the patient.
- Measurements are taken after the patient has been lying down for 20-30 minutes.
- Stockings are to be changed every 2 - 3 days or daily if patient is perspiring profusely or if the stocking is visibly soiled or follow as per hospital guidelines.
- Stockings can be worn 24 hours a day, recommended at night.
- Round off measurements to the nearest whole number if using a measuring tape. i.e.
- if ankle measurement is 22.5cm then choose Medium,
- if 22.4cm then choose Small
Do's:
- Make sure that worn stockings are smooth and never wrinkled
- Ensure correct fit of the stocking:
- Toe hole at ball of foot
- Heel centred in coloured area
- Knee/thigh length band in correct position
Do Not:
- Fold the knee/thigh length top band (can cause a tourniquet effect)
- Cut off the waist attachment from stocking to use for thigh length
- Twist stockings on application (can cause a tourniquet effect)
- Expose stockings to oils or grease (such as baby oil) to avoid degradation of elasticity performance
- Do not bleach or iron
How to measure:
- Knee Length: Measure ankle circumference to choose the stocking size.
- Thigh Length: Measure ankle circumference to choose the stocking size. Measure thigh circumference to select the regular or extra-wide size
