Frequently Asked Questions

What are Truform Anti-Embolism open toe knee highs?

A unisex open toe knee-high stocking from Truform's Anti-Embolism range, knit in a soft smooth knit, finished with soft stay-up top. It delivers 18 mmHg anti-embolism graduated compression. It is intended for patients recovering at home with reduced mobility, not for everyday ambulatory wear. Browse the full Truform range.

What does 18 mmHg mean, and what does it help with?

The numbers are the pressure at the ankle, measured in millimetres of mercury, decreasing as the garment moves up the limb. Anti-embolism stockings are a different category from daily compression. They deliver 18 mmHg targeted at the ankle and are intended for the reclining or bed-confined patient, to help reduce the danger of thromboembolic disease. They are not designed for ambulatory daily wear — for that you want a graduated daily stocking instead. If you're unsure which level applies, our compression therapy guide explains each one, or see our DVT.

How do I know I'm ordering the right size?

Compression sizing isn't standardised across brands — a Medium in one brand is often not a Medium in another, so go by your measurements rather than the size you wore last. Measure your ankle at its narrowest point and your calf at its widest, first thing in the morning before swelling builds, against bare skin with your foot flat and the tape snug but not constricting. If your swelling has changed, or you've gained or lost weight, or you're recovering from surgery, re-measure rather than reordering your previous size. Our measuring guide walks through each measurement.

How do I put these on and take them off?

Turn the stocking inside out to the heel, work your foot in first, then roll it up the leg in stages rather than pulling from the top — pulling stretches the band and shortens the garment's life. Rubber gloves or a donning aid make it easier. Full instructions are in our guide to putting on compression stockings.

How do I care for them, and how long do they last?

Wash after each wear in cool or lukewarm water with a gentle solution — never fabric softener or bleach — and always air dry away from direct heat, since a machine dryer permanently damages the elastic. With daily wear and proper care, expect roughly three to six months before the compression declines, so most people rotate two pairs. Full instructions and washing solutions are in our care guide.
