JOBST® UltraSheer Class 1 Thigh Hold Up with Sensitive Topband

Class 1 sheer hold up with the Sensitive silicone topband

The Sensitive topband is the point of this one: a low-friction silicone band that sits at the top of the thigh and is designed to hold the stocking up without a suspender belt. Below it, JOBST® UltraSheer is a fine, transparent knit from Essity® in RAL Class 1 compression (18-21mmHg), graduated so it is firmest at the ankle and eases up the leg. It is designed for the management of varicose veins, mild oedema and tired, aching legs.

Knit, band and toe

• RAL Class 1 graduated compression, 18-21mmHg, moderate
• Open loop knitting structure for a high degree of air permeability
• Sensitive silicone topband (SSTB) at the thigh, so no suspender belt is needed
• Sheer, transparent finish rather than an opaque one
• Latex free
• Closed Toe or Open Toe

Sizes, lengths and shades

Six sizes run from I/XS to VI/XXL, each in Petite and Regular lengths. Colours are Natural, Tan, Caramel, Bronze, Espresso, Anthracite, Navy and Black. Measure both legs before ordering, first thing in the morning before any swelling builds, because the two are often not the same. When you put the hold up on, gather it down to the heel and work it up the leg in stages rather than hauling it from the topband.

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.
