JOBST® Opaque Class 2 Thigh Hold Up with Sensitive Topband

Class 2 thigh hold up with the low-friction Sensitive topband

The Sensitive topband is the plainest of the three band styles in the JOBST® Opaque range, made from soft silicone and shaped to sit against the skin with less friction. Under the band, the stocking gives RAL Class 2 graduated compression (23-32mmHg), firmest at the ankle and easing up the leg. It is a single-leg stocking that reaches the top of the thigh and holds itself up, with no suspender belt, and it is designed for the management of varicose veins and leg swelling that reaches above the knee.

The band, the knit and the toe

• RAL Class 2, 23-32mmHg, firm graduated compression
• Sensitive silicone topband, made to grip the thigh without rolling
• Opaque knit of soft yarns that moves moisture away from the skin
• Knitted to cover small veins, scars and blemishes
• Choice of Closed Toe or Open Toe
• Latex free, from JOBST®, made by Essity®

Picking your options

Six sizes run from I/XS to VI/XXL, in Petite and Regular lengths, so leg length is chosen as well as girth. Colours are Black, Bronze, Caramel, Natural and Navy. One practical point on putting it on: gather the stocking down to the foot first and ease it up in stages, rather than pulling it straight up the leg. Keep rings and long nails clear of the knit.

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.
