Activa® Class 2 Below Knee Stockings

Class 2 below knee stockings in an ultra-fine nylon knit

The Activa® below knee stocking gives UK Class 2 graduated compression, 18-24mmHg at the ankle and easing as it goes up the calf. It is knitted from an ultra-fine nylon and Lycra Soft blend, which keeps it light on the leg and simple to pull into place. Designed for the management of thread veins and tired, aching legs.

Putting them on and washing

Pull the stocking on first thing in the morning, before the leg has had a chance to swell. Rings and long nails can catch the fine knit, so ease it up the leg rather than tugging at it. An application aid helps if gripping or bending is hard work. Machine wash at up to 40°C after each day's wear, which clears skin oils and creams from the yarn. Do not tumble dry or iron.

It's important to get the right fit when it comes to compression garments. That's why Daylong Shop recommends that you contact a nurse, GP or pharmacist to ensure that compression hosiery is appropriate for you. If so, you will then need to be measured in order to obtain the correct size which will ensure that the garment works correctly and feels comfortable.
