JOBST® UlcerCARE Hosiery Kit

Two-layer ulcer hosiery: one outer stocking, two liners

JOBST® UlcerCARE splits the work across two layers. The soft liner goes on first, next to the skin and over any dressing, then the outer stocking pulls on over the top. Worn together, the two layers are designed to give up to 40mmHg at the ankle: firm RAL Class 2 compression for the management of venous leg ulcers.

What is in the kit

• One outer compression stocking and two liners
• Liner knitted from a soft blend of textiles and silk, designed to help hold dressings in place
• Shaped heel and toe on the liner
• Designed for day and night wear, with the liner worn against the skin
• From Essity®, makers of the JOBST® range

Sizes, colours and zip options

Sizes run Small to XXXX-Large, in Beige or Black. The outer stocking comes as Left Zip, Right Zip or No Zip; a zip makes it easier to pull on when grip or reach is limited, and your nurse will tell you which side you need. The kit is Unisex and designed to fit under everyday footwear and clothing, so it works for self-management at home.

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.
