Questions and Answers
Common questions about the Class 2 Below-Knee Compression Stockings (AD). For anything specific to your own condition, speak to a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I choose the right size?
Select the size from the cB and cD measurements and choose the A to D length. Medical compression should be fitted by a qualified healthcare professional. Available sizes: Size 1, Size 2, Size 3, Size 4, Size 5, Size 6, Size 7, Size 8. Measure on bare skin before daily swelling develops: cB around the ankle 1 cm above the ankle-bone crease, cD around the leg 2 cm below the knee crease, and A to D from the floor to the cD level. Use the Excel size table and obtain professional fitting advice. Check the size table on this page against your own measurement before ordering.
How do I put it on and adjust it?
It pulls on: there are no straps or fasteners. Draw it into position, then smooth out any folds so the fabric lies flat against the skin along its whole length. It should feel snug and evenly supported, never painful, and should not leave deep marks on the skin. Loosen or reposition it if it does.
Will it restrict my movement?
No joint immobilization; designed for walking and routine daily movement when correctly fitted. It should feel secure without pinching, sliding, or cutting off circulation.
Who should not wear medical compression stockings?
Compression is not suitable for everyone. Known or suspected arterial disease, certain skin conditions, and some circulatory disorders require assessment first. Class 2 compression should be selected and fitted by a qualified healthcare professional.
How is this different from the other compression stockings?
These stockings are AD length and end below the knee. The Class 2 Thigh-High Compression Stockings (AG) (V60) carries on to the top of the thigh and has a silicone band.
How do I wash and care for it?
Follow the supplied manufacturer instructions. Smooth out wrinkles before wear and do not roll or fold the top band. Wash regularly at no more than 40°C unless the care label specifies a lower temperature. Do not use fabric softener. Air dry flat away from direct heat; do not tumble dry or iron.
When should I stop using it and seek advice?
Medical compression should be selected and fitted by a qualified healthcare professional. Do not use without assessment if you have known or suspected arterial disease, reduced sensation, fragile or infected skin, severe swelling, major limb-shape differences, or uncontrolled heart problems. Remove immediately and seek advice for new pain, numbness, tingling, cold or discoloured toes, skin damage, or increased swelling. Never roll or fold the top band.
