The Altiform® Class 3 Below Knee stocking gives firm graduated compression, 25-35mmHg at the ankle and easing up the calf. It is British Standard Class 3 hosiery, designed for the management of gross varices, post thrombotic venous insufficiency, gross oedema and venous leg ulcer therapy, including the prevention of ulcer recurrence. The fabric stays thin and light for the pressure it delivers.
Sizes Small, Medium, Large and X-Large, in Closed Toe or Open Toe, and one colour, Soft Beige. Open Toe leaves the toes uncovered. Class 3 is firm to pull on, so put the stocking on first thing in the morning, before any swelling builds. Rubber gloves or a donning aid can make the job easier.
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.
Compression hosiery may not be suitable for everyone. If you have diabetes, circulation problems, reduced sensation, fragile skin, heart failure or a diagnosed vascular condition, speak to a healthcare professional before using compression.
