About the stocking
This section features a medical compression stocking suitable for cases that require graduated compression in the leg to help support blood circulation and reduce the risk of venous stasis, especially before, during, and after surgery or in cases identified by the physician. The correct size selection also depends on leg circumference and leg length for a more accurate fit.
How to Choose the Right Size
- Measure the leg circumference at the required points such as the ankle, calf, and thigh according to the product size chart.
- Measure the leg length to determine whether the suitable length is short, standard, or long.
- Review the size chart carefully, as the correct size depends on the actual leg measurements rather than the usual clothing size.
- Do not choose a smaller size for stronger compression, as an improper size may cause discomfort or incorrect use.
- If the measurements are close to the upper limit of a size or there is a special medical condition, it is best to consult the physician or customer service before ordering.
