Varisan® Top Cotton Class 2 Thigh Hold Up

Cotton against the skin, RAL Class 2 compression

The Varisan® Top Cotton Class 2 Thigh Hold Up is knitted with cotton in contact with the skin, so it feels softer on legs that react to synthetic yarns. It gives RAL Class 2 compression (23-32mmHg), firmest at the ankle and easing up the leg, and is designed for the management of varicose veins and other venous conditions. A silicone band at the top holds the stocking up, so there is no suspender belt to deal with.

Compression and the top band

• RAL Class 2, 23-32mmHg, firm compression
• Silicone top band grips the thigh to help keep the stocking in place
• Open Toe, leaving the toes free for swollen feet or daily skin checks
• Latex free
• Made by Cizeta Medicali, the Italian maker behind the Varisan® range

Sizes, lengths and putting it on

Sizes 1 to 5, in Normal and Short lengths, in Beige. Measure each leg on its own, as the two are rarely the same, and pick the size from the Varisan® chart rather than your usual clothing size. Gather the stocking down to the heel before you start, then work it up the leg a little at a time instead of pulling from the top band.

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.
