| Pressure Garment \ 15 - 20 mmHg Waist Length |
Donning Suggestions
| Properly fitting Jobst compression stockings should feel snug at first. It will take a few days to adjust to the pressure.
Compression garments are easier to put on when you first get out of bed, before swelling occurs.
Helpful Hints- Skin should be dry
- Applying a thin layer of cornstarch or powder will help the stockings slide over your skin
- Remove your rings and jewelry that can damage your garment
- Wear rubber or vinyl gloves to prevent fingernails from damaging the fabric
- The gloves also help provide grip to distribute the fabric more easily
- Avoid rolling, gathering or bunching the fabric, as this will only increase the pressure – like creating a super rubber band.
- Apply moisturizer to your legs in the evening rather than just before putting on your stocking.
