Why Choose Open Toe Compression Hosiery?

Open toe compression stockings offer several unique benefits. They’re particularly helpful if you have toe conditions such as bunions or ingrown toenails, where a closed toe might cause discomfort. The open design lets your toes move freely and breathe, which is ideal in warmer weather or if you prefer open-toe footwear.

Plus, open toe styles make it easier to monitor your foot health, especially useful for those with diabetes or circulation issues. You’ll still enjoy the therapeutic benefits of graduated compression—just with a little extra comfort for your toes.

Size Guide

Measure your ankle circumference (at the narrowest point above the ankle bone) and calf circumference (at the widest point) to find your size.

Why Professional Measurement Matters

Getting the right fit with compression stockings isn’t just about comfort—it’s key to their effectiveness. That’s why it’s best to have your legs measured by a healthcare professional before you start wearing them. An expert assessment helps ensure you’re choosing the correct compression level and size for your specific needs, so the stockings provide optimal support without causing discomfort or restricting circulation. Plus, a proper fit reduces the risk of socks being too tight (which can lead to digging in or poor blood flow) or too loose (which means they simply won’t do their job).

If you’re unsure about sizing, or if your health circumstances change, always consult with a nurse or doctor for advice before use.

How to Put On

1. Turn the stocking inside out down to the heel pocket.
2. Place your foot into the heel pocket, ensuring it sits correctly.
3. Gradually roll the stocking up your leg, smoothing out any wrinkles as you go.
4. Ensure the stocking sits just below the knee — it should not roll or dig in.
5. Do not fold the top band down, as this can restrict circulation.

How to Use

• Put on stockings first thing in the morning before getting out of bed, when legs are least swollen.
• Wear throughout the day and remove before going to bed.
• Wash after each use to maintain elasticity and hygiene.
• Replace every 3–6 months or when elasticity is lost.

Precautions

• Class 2 compression stockings should only be used under medical supervision or on the advice of a healthcare professional.
• Do not use if you have severe arterial disease, peripheral neuropathy, or skin infections on the leg.
• Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use if you have diabetes, heart failure, or any circulatory condition.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience increased pain, numbness, or discolouration of the skin.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Check legs daily for any signs of skin irritation or pressure marks.

Why a Holistic Assessment Matters

Before you start using compression hosiery, it’s crucial to have a thorough evaluation by a nurse or doctor. This assessment helps ensure that compression stockings are safe and suitable for your individual needs and health conditions.

A healthcare professional will check for any underlying problems—such as arterial disease, nerve issues, diabetes, or skin conditions—that may make compression hosiery inappropriate or even harmful. They’ll also consider factors like circulation, mobility, and overall skin health, helping to tailor advice specifically for you.

This comprehensive approach helps prevent complications, ensures effective management of your symptoms, and gives you peace of mind as you start your compression therapy.
