Benefits & effects of medical stockings

Compression stockings offer numerous advantages. They improve circulation, prevent venous disorders, relieve swelling and reduce tiredness and pain in the legs. They are important for people with specific medical problems. They are also important for healthy people who wish to make their everyday lives more comfortable.

Sizing and selection of compression stockings

The correct size and fit are crucial for the effectiveness of medical stockings. Professional measurement by specialist personnel is recommended to ensure that the stockings fit optimally and can fulfill their function.

Measurements should be taken in the morning on the edema-free leg in a standing position directly on the skin. Both circumference and length measurements are relevant, and care should be taken to ensure that the tape measure fits snugly but does not constrict the skin. It is best to seek advice from trained specialists.

There are four compression classes, ranging from CCL 1 to CCL 4, whereby a higher class exerts greater pressure. The selection should be based on the personal medical indication and following a physician's recommendation.

The large range of sizes and lengths in the various series, allows a considerable number of people to be perfectly catered for. If a product does not fit, customized products can be ordered which are tailored to the customer's leg measurements.

Was ist die beste Lösung für mich: Kniestrümpfe, Schenkelstrümpfe oder Strumpfhose?

Kompressionsstrümpfe sind in verschiedenen Längen erhältlich. Generell sind Kniestrümpfe, auch Wadenstrümpfe genannt, die knapp unterhalb des Knies enden, relativ bequem und leicht anzuziehen. Ein Paar Kniestrümpfe ist ideal für Menschen, die vor allem eine Kompression von Fuss, Sprunggelenk und Unterschenkel benötigen. Die längeren Schenkelstrümpfe reichen bis an den Oberschenkel. Sie sind sinnvoll, wenn eine Kompression der Kniekehle oder des Oberschenkels erforderlich ist, z. B. bei Krampfadern.Kompressionsstrumpfhosen haben den Vorteil, dass sie nicht verrutschen. Diese sind auch für die Schwangerschaft erhältlich. Eine ausführliche Beratung erfolgt bei Ihrem Fachhändler.

What is the easiest way to put on compression stockings?

Due to the compression pressure, it is usually a challenge to pull the stocking over the ankle and place it correctly on the leg. In addition, limited mobility or even a lack of strength in the hands and fingers are often a factor. All this can make donning a stocking a real feat of strength.

Donning doesn't have to be difficult! The Sigvaris donning and doffing aids make it easier and simpler to wear compression stockings. Regardless of whether you have good or limited mobility - there is a suitable aid for everyone. Find out how you can put on and take off stockings more easily with donning and doffing aids from the Sigvaris brand.

Wear special gloves. This makes it easier to don and doff and protects the stocking. There are also alternative donning and doffing aids such as the sim-slide, magnide on/off, DOFF N' DONNER or MELANY, which can make donning and doffing even easier.

Can I wear compression stockings all day long?

Unless otherwise prescribed by your physician, wear your compression stockings daily from morning to evening for optimal therapy results.

How do I wash and care for my compression stockings properly?

Compression stockings should be washed daily by hand or in the washing machine using a gentle cycle at a maximum of 40°C with a laundry net, without using fabric softener. They should not be dried in a tumble dryer or on a radiator; drying on a washing line is preferable. Find out about our recommendations for the care of compression products.
