How to put on/use correctly

Basic principles of use:

• compression products can be used in inpatient and outpatient facilities, and at home,
• the type and length of the product is usually selected depending on the damaged vein segment: the upper edge should cover the lesion area by 5-10 cm, but a longer model can also be chosen,
• the necessary degree of compression is usually determined according to medical indications, but the physician can adapt this individually,
• the size is selected according to the leg circumference, height by body length, according to the size chart; measurements should be made in the morning (before swelling appears) or after your legs have had rest, by placing your leg horizontally – you can do this on your own or ask for help of an assistant or specialist,
• put the product on in the morning, as soon as your hygienic procedures are over, and wear all day, unless your physician prescribed otherwise,
• as medical compression products need to be washed every day, for more convenient use it is recommended to purchase two pairs
• the first days of use of products of compression class II can cause unpleasant feelings, intensification of pain – you should not worry until swelling goes away; to adapt to compression stockinet, its use can initially be reduced, increasing it every day until you reach the necessary level.
