JOBST® Opaque Class 1 Below Knee Compression Stockings

Below knee Class 1 compression in an opaque everyday knit

JOBST® Opaque Class 1 Below Knee Compression Stockings give RAL Class 1 graduated compression (18-21mmHg), firmest at the ankle and easing up towards the knee. The opaque knit covers the leg like ordinary hosiery, so the stocking does not read as medical wear. It is designed for the management of varicose veins, mild swelling and tired, aching legs.

What the opaque knit does

• May help ease tired, aching legs through a day of standing or sitting
• Soft yarns with moisture-management properties, from the JOBST® Opaque range by Essity®
• Refined opacity designed to cover small imperfections such as veins and scars
• Latex free
• Closed Toe or Open Toe

Getting the length and size right

Two lengths are offered, Petite and Regular, so the stocking sits below the knee rather than bunching behind it. Sizes run I/XS, II/S, III/M, IV/L, V/XL and VI/XXL. Colours are Black, Bronze, Caramel, Natural, Navy and Sand. Open Toe leaves the toes free, which is useful with a shaped shoe or where the toes are sensitive. Measure the ankle and calf first thing in the morning, before swelling builds, and put the stocking on early in the day.

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.
