Description
Meet MELANY, the donning and doffing device for compression stockings in case of limited mobility.
Due to MELANY’s innovative construction, the compression stocking glides effortlessly over the ankle. Gripping the foot or strong bending efforts are no longer necessary during donning and doffing. This gives customers a greater feeling of independence and requires less effort when donning and doffing.
MELANY makes donning and doffing easier with a robust design and more accessible sizing. It is suitable for calf and thigh stockings, open or closed toe.
Features
- Height-adjustable grips: Adapt to body size
- Base with donning shovel: The applied stocking slides effortlessly over the ankle
- Innovative rubber caps: Provide the necessary grip when doffing
