Key Features

• High-Compression Chap Design: A specialized medical sleeve applying 30-40 mmHg pressure specifically to the foot and calf, crucial for managing severe localized swelling, wounds, and advanced venous disease.
• Open Toe for Medical Access: Facilitates essential visual inspection of toes, accommodates structural deformities, and allows for application of dressings or medications—often a clinical requirement in severe cases.
• Unilateral High-Pressure Therapy: Provides a cost-effective and practical solution for applying strong compression to a single affected limb without purchasing bilateral garments.
• Targeted Containment for Severe Edema: Focuses maximum therapeutic pressure on the lower leg to reduce substantial fluid accumulation and soften fibrotic tissue.
• Durable, High-Tensile Fabric: Constructed with a robust 78% nylon, 22% spandex blend specifically capable of delivering and sustaining extra-firm compression over extended periods.
• Essential for Specific Treatment Protocols: Often integrated into prescribed regimens for complex wound care, complete decongestive therapy for lymphedema, or post-thrombotic syndrome management.
• Eliminates Knee Restriction: Stops below the knee, avoiding constriction in patients with knee conditions or wounds while still providing intensive lower leg compression.
• Reinforced Medical Construction: Heavily reinforced in stress areas to withstand the demands of extra-firm compression during daily donning and active wear.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Manages Severe Edema and Lymphedema in the Lower Leg: Applies strong sustained pressure to reduce massive fluid buildup confined to the foot and calf area under medical supervision.
• Active Venous Ulcer Treatment Around the Ankle: Provides the high, focused compression required to heal venous ulcers located on the lower leg, with open toe access facilitating wound care.
• Treatment of Severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) in the Calf: Addresses advanced skin changes, lipodermatosclerosis, and swelling isolated to the lower leg with intensive pressure.
• Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) Management: Helps control severe pain and extensive swelling in the calf following deep vein thrombosis (DVT) when symptoms are localized.
• Post-Surgical Compression for Major Lower Limb Procedures: Used following significant foot, ankle, or calf surgery where high compression is mandated for healing and swelling control.
• Accommodates Patients with Toe Pathologies: A necessary design for those with severe toe deformities, thick fungal nails, or diabetes-related foot concerns requiring high compression without toe constriction.
• Supports Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT): Essential component between manual lymphatic drainage sessions for maintaining lower leg volume reduction in severe lymphedema.
• Enables Targeted Medical Intervention: Allows healthcare providers to focus intensive therapy on the affected limb while leaving the unaffected leg free from unnecessary compression.

Important Medical Notice

This is a Class 3 prescription medical device for single limb use. Physician evaluation, approval, and precise medical sizing are mandatory. Do not use if you have: severe arterial insufficiency (ABPI must be assessed), acute infection, or open wounds on the forefoot or toes. Ensure the top band does not constrict circulation. Regular medical monitoring is required when using extra-firm compression. Your vascular specialist or wound care physician must determine appropriateness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions require a 30-40 mmHg chap compression garment?
This high-pressure chap is for severe lower leg edema, active venous ulcers around the ankle or lower calf, or advanced lymphedema confined to the foot and calf region. It is always prescribed by a specialist after thorough evaluation.

How do I put on a high-compression chap safely?
Donning aids are absolutely required. Use donning gloves or a frame. Turn the chap inside out to the heel, insert your foot ensuring proper heel positioning, then gradually roll up your calf. Follow our measuring guide exactly for proper sizing.

Can I wear this if I have a foot ulcer or wound?
Only under direct supervision and explicit instruction from your wound care specialist. While used therapeutically for venous leg ulcers, it is typically for ulcers on the leg or ankle. Never place it over an active foot ulcer without explicit medical direction.

Why choose a single chap instead of a full stocking?
A single chap is the most economical and practical choice for treating one leg when your condition is unilateral. It allows you to treat the affected limb intensively without purchasing unnecessary compression for the unaffected leg, and avoids knee constriction if that's a concern.

How long do these extra-firm compression stocking 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 or fabric damage.

What should I do if the top band causes discomfort?
Ensure the band sits properly just below the knee without rolling. If it causes persistent redness, indentation, or circulation issues, consult your physician immediately as this may indicate incorrect sizing or a need for alternative styles.
