Activa® Class 2 Thigh Stockings

Class 2 compression that runs to the top of the thigh

The Activa® Class 2 Thigh Stockings cover the foot, calf and thigh in one garment. They give British Standard Class 2 graduated compression, 18-24mmHg, firmest at the ankle and easing as it travels up the leg. The stockings are designed for the management of varicose veins, and are worn by men and women.

Keeping the stocking up

This is not a hold up stocking, so you may need a suspender belt or body glue to hold it in place on the thigh. Thigh length also takes more effort to put on than below knee. Ease the fabric up the leg in stages rather than pulling hard on the top band once the stocking is in place.

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.
