Key Features

• Open Toe for High-Compression Medical Requirements: Facilitates essential visual toe monitoring, accommodates structural deformities, reduces pressure on sensitive nail beds and toe joints—often a medical requirement rather than a preference in severe clinical cases.
• Silicone Band for Mandatory Security: The inner medical-grade silicone dot band is therapeutically essential to secure the 30-40 mmHg garment, preventing slippage that would compromise the rigorous pressure gradient required for treating severe conditions.
• Maximum Therapeutic Pressure (30-40 mmHg): Delivers the high level of precisely graduated compression prescribed to manage massive edema, facilitate ulcer healing, and treat advanced post-thrombotic syndrome throughout the entire leg.
• Enhanced Practicality for Patient Care: The open toe allows for easier application of prescribed topical medications, regular inspection for skin breakdown and circulatory changes, and accommodation of orthotic devices or toe separators.
• Robust, Medical-Grade Fabrication: Constructed with a 66% nylon, 23% spandex, 6% silicone blend specifically designed to sustain high compression forces and integrate with the security band technology.
• Promotes Adherence to Demanding Therapy: By simultaneously improving comfort and practicality, this design can be absolutely critical for a patient's ability to consistently follow a challenging high-compression regimen.
• Facilitates Clinical Monitoring: The open toe enables healthcare providers to assess toe color, temperature, and capillary refill during regular checkups without removing the compression.
• Heavily Reinforced Construction: Features extra reinforcement in heel, sole, and band areas to withstand the extreme mechanical stress of extra-firm compression.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Manages Severe Lymphedema with Toe Accessibility: Provides the necessary high sustained pressure to reduce fluid accumulation and maintain limb volume while allowing for essential toe checks, daily hygiene, and reducing the risk of maceration in the enclosed toe box environment.
• Venous Ulcer Treatment with Patient-Focused Design: Supports the optimal healing environment for active venous leg ulcers while the open toe may significantly improve patient tolerance and the silicone band ensures therapeutic consistency during movement.
• Accommodates Patients with Significant Toe Pathologies: A medical necessity for those with severe hammer toes, claw toes, bunions, or thick fungal nails that cannot tolerate enclosed toes at high pressure levels.
• Ideal for Diabetic Patients Requiring High Compression: Allows for critical visual foot inspection essential in diabetes care, though use requires specific vascular assessment (ABPI testing) and ongoing medical approval and monitoring.
• Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) Management with Comfort: Helps control severe PTS symptoms including pain, extensive swelling, and skin changes in patients who require both high compression and the accommodation of an open toe design.
• Ensures Effective Delivery of Intensive Therapy: The combination of secure positioning and toe accommodation addresses two major barriers to successful high-compression treatment compliance and adherence.
• Supports Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT): Essential component for severe lymphedema when toe involvement, monitoring, or separate toe bandaging is part of the clinical protocol.
• Enables Wound Care Access: Allows wound care specialists to monitor and treat leg ulcers while ensuring toes remain accessible for separate assessment, treatment, or protection if diabetic precautions are necessary.

Important Medical Notice

This is a Class 3 prescription medical device. A physician must evaluate, prescribe, and monitor its use. Contraindications include severe arterial insufficiency (ABPI < 0.5), acute deep vein thrombosis, untreated infection, or allergy to materials. The open toe does not reduce the compression level delivered to the leg. Do not use if you have open wounds, ulcers, or infections on the forefoot or toes. Precise medical sizing and professional fitting are mandatory. Regular medical monitoring is required for safe extra-firm compression therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is an open toe medically indicated for 30-40 mmHg compression stockings?
It is often medically recommended or required for patients with significant toe deformities, those requiring frequent toe monitoring (especially diabetic or neuropathic patients), or those who develop pressure sores or skin breakdown from closed toes at this high compression level. The open toe allows essential visual assessment of toe color, temperature, and circulation during intensive therapy.

Are these easier to put on than closed toe 30-40 mmHg stockings?
They can be somewhat easier to don correctly because you can visually confirm proper toe and foot positioning before pulling the garment up the leg. However, donning aids (rubber gloves, metal frames, or stocking slides) are still absolutely required at this compression level. Follow our measuring guide exactly for proper sizing.

Can I wear these if I have a foot ulcer or wound?
Only under direct supervision and explicit instruction from your wound care specialist or vascular physician. While extra-firm compression is used therapeutically for venous leg ulcers, an open toe design may be chosen if the ulcer is located on the leg (not the foot). Never place any compression garment over an active foot ulcer, open wound, or infected area without explicit medical direction and ongoing monitoring.

Why does the fabric contain silicone?
The silicone is primarily concentrated in the top band for grip and security. The specific blend of nylon and spandex is engineered for the high stretch, recovery, and durability needed to deliver and maintain 30-40 mmHg of therapeutic pressure throughout the garment's lifespan.

How do I know if the compression is working properly?
Your physician or certified fitter will assess proper fit and compression effectiveness during regular follow-up appointments. Signs of proper function include gradual reduction in swelling, improved symptoms, and comfortable wear without pain or toe discoloration. Regular medical monitoring is essential to track therapeutic progress.

What should I do if the silicone band causes irritation?
While medical-grade silicone is designed to be hypoallergenic, some patients may experience sensitivity. If you notice persistent redness, itching, or skin breakdown at the band line, discontinue use and consult your prescribing physician immediately. They may recommend a different size, alternative securing method, or skin protection barrier based on your specific needs.
