Key Features

• Silicone Band: A Therapeutic Necessity: At 30-40 mmHg, the medical-grade silicone dot band is not a luxury but an absolutely required feature to counteract the substantial downward force and prevent roll-down, which would render treatment completely ineffective and potentially dangerous.
• Extra-Firm Medical Compression (30-40 mmHg): Provides the high level of precisely graduated pressure prescribed for managing severe edema, active ulceration, advanced post-thrombotic syndrome, and complex lymphatic disorders.
• Full-Leg Closed Toe Coverage: Delivers comprehensive therapeutic support from toes to upper thigh, containing and actively reducing severe swelling throughout the entire limb with complete encapsulation.
• Maximum Durability Construction: Built with a robust 66% nylon, 23% spandex, 6% silicone blend and heavily reinforced stress points specifically engineered to withstand the extreme demands of high-compression therapy.
• Ensures Precise Therapeutic Pressure Delivery: By securing the stocking in optimal position, it guarantees the highest compression remains precisely at the ankle, creating the correct decreasing gradient up the entire leg.
• Promotes Compliance with Intensive Regimens: A secure, stable fit reduces patient frustration and makes it more feasible to adhere to challenging high-compression treatment plans requiring daily wear.
• Prevents Dangerous Tourniquet Effects: The secure positioning prevents bunching at the knee that could create constriction points and compromise circulation.
• Medical Device Quality Standards: Meets stringent requirements for Class 3 compression therapy devices used in severe wound care and advanced lymphatic management.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Manages Severe Lymphedema and Edema: Applies strong, sustained pressure to reduce significant fluid accumulation, soften fibrotic tissue, and maintain limb volume reduction achieved through complete decongestive therapy throughout the entire leg.
• Active Venous Ulcer Healing: A cornerstone of evidence-based compression therapy, providing the uninterrupted high pressure required to heal venous leg ulcers, with the secure fit preventing disruption of the wound environment during movement.
• Treatment of Severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Addresses advanced manifestations including severe swelling, skin changes (lipodermatosclerosis), venous eczema, and atrophie blanche from ankle to upper thigh.
• Prevention of Venous Ulcer Recurrence: Critical maintenance wear to prevent re-ulceration after an active ulcer has healed, with studies showing significantly reduced recurrence with consistent high compression use.
• Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) Management: Helps control debilitating pain, extensive swelling, and progressive skin damage in the full leg following deep vein thrombosis (DVT) episodes.
• Supports Orthostatic Hypotension Management: The high full-leg compression can help mitigate blood pressure drops upon standing for diagnosed patients with autonomic dysfunction.
• Reduces Venous Hypertension: Significantly decreases ambulatory venous pressure throughout the lower extremity, addressing the underlying pathophysiology of severe venous disease.
• Essential for Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT): Critical component between manual lymphatic drainage sessions for maintaining volume reduction in severe primary or secondary lymphedema.

Important Medical Notice

This is a Class 3 prescription medical device. Physician evaluation, approval, and precise medical sizing are mandatory. Do not use if you have: severe arterial insufficiency (ABPI must be assessed and should be > 0.5), acute deep vein thrombosis, untreated cellulitis or infection, uncompensated congestive heart failure, or known silicone allergy. Discontinue use immediately if it causes severe pain, numbness, coldness, or discoloration of toes or feet. Regular medical monitoring is required when using extra-firm compression. Your vascular specialist or wound care physician must determine appropriateness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the silicone band medically necessary at 30-40 mmHg?
Yes, it is highly medically recommended and often clinically essential. The high pressure creates substantial downward force on the garment due to extreme fabric tension. Without the silicone band, the stocking will inevitably slide down, pooling compression at the knee and breaking the therapeutic gradient, rendering treatment ineffective and potentially creating dangerous tourniquet effects.

How do I put these on safely at this high compression level?
Donning aids are not optional; they are absolutely required for safe application at 30-40 mmHg. Use a donning frame, metal or plastic slide, or rubber gloves. Be patient, work gradually, and ensure correct heel placement. Apply in the morning when swelling is minimal. Precise sizing per our measuring guide is absolutely non-negotiable for both effectiveness and ability to don.

Can these be worn over leg ulcer dressings?
Yes, they are commonly prescribed for use over venous leg ulcer dressings as part of evidence-based wound healing protocols. Ensure dressings are smooth, not excessively bulky, and properly secured. The silicone band helps keep the compression stocking from shifting and disturbing the wound site during activity. Always follow your wound care specialist's specific instructions regarding dressing changes and compression use.

What is the difference between this and the open toe version?
This closed toe style provides full foot and toe coverage and protection for patients who don't have toe-related medical concerns. The open toe version is prescribed specifically for toe monitoring, accommodation of deformities, or heat sensitivity concerns. The compression level and therapeutic need for the silicone band are identical. Our compression therapy guide provides comprehensive context.

How long do these extra-firm compression stockings last?
With proper care, medical-grade extra-firm compression typically maintains therapeutic effectiveness for 3-6 months of daily wear. Replace sooner if you notice decreased compression, fabric damage, or loss of silicone band grip. Many insurance plans cover replacements on this schedule with appropriate medical documentation.

Can I sleep in these stockings?
Generally, no. Extra-firm compression should be removed at night unless your physician has given you specific instructions for 24-hour wear during acute treatment phases (such as intensive lymphedema reduction or acute ulcer healing). Always follow your prescribed wearing schedule exactly.
