Key Features

• Open-Toe Design for Maximum Compression Breathability: Toeless construction is particularly valuable at 30-40 mmHg, preventing overheating and moisture buildup that can lead to skin breakdown under intense pressure.
• Prescription-Strength 30-40 mmHg Graduated Compression: Delivers the highest therapeutic pressure necessary to control severe chronic venous insufficiency, significant lymphedema, and post-thrombotic syndrome.
• Critical for Diabetic Foot Monitoring: Allows daily visual inspection of toes and nail beds without removing the stocking, a non-negotiable safety requirement for diabetic patients requiring high-level compression.
• Accommodates Severe Foot Conditions and Deformities: Eliminates all pressure on bunions, hammertoes, claw toes, or nail pathologies, making maximum compression feasible for patients with co-morbid foot issues.
• Professional Ribbed Styling on Calf: Maintains a discreet, ribbed dress-sock appearance from the calf upward, supporting a professional image despite the medical strength.
• High-Tension, Durable Fabric (71% Nylon, 29% Spandex): Engineered to sustain precise 30-40 mmHg pressure gradients, with reinforcement at the heel to withstand rigorous donning.
• Moisture-Wicking Properties: Manages perspiration effectively, working with the open toe to maintain a dry, healthy environment for the foot.
• Secure Standard Comfort Band: Provides the necessary hold for extra-firm compression, designed to distribute force and minimize top-band discomfort.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Manages Severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) with Diabetic Safety: Enables patients with both severe CVI and diabetes to receive necessary high-level compression while performing mandatory daily foot checks to prevent ulcers and amputations.
• Controls Significant Lymphedema and Edema in Warm Climates: The breathable design makes wearing 30-40 mmHg compression tolerable during summer or in tropical environments, ensuring year-round therapy compliance.
• Promotes Healing of Venous Ulcers with Foot Access: Allows healthcare providers to assess toe circulation and monitor for infection without disturbing the compression therapy on the calf and ankle.
• Manages Debilitating Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS): Provides the strong pressure needed to control severe PTS symptoms while accommodating any concomitant foot swelling or sensitivity.
• Essential for Patients with Foot Deformities or Prior Surgery: Makes prescription-strength compression a viable option for men with foot shapes that cannot tolerate closed-toe confinement.
• Prevents Skin Maceration and Infection: Superior ventilation reduces the risk of fungal or bacterial growth between the toes, a significant concern under non-breathable compression.
• Supports Active Venous Ulcer Treatment Protocols: Often used in conjunction with wound dressings, allowing the ulcer site to be treated while the rest of the leg receives maximum compression.
• Facilitates Compliance with Challenging Therapy: By solving the problems of heat and toe pressure, the open-toe design directly addresses two major reasons for non-adherence to 30-40 mmHg compression.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is open-toe important for diabetics needing high compression?
Diabetics must inspect their feet daily for cuts, blisters, or color changes. Removing a 30-40 mmHg stocking multiple times daily is impractical and can damage the garment. Open toe allows inspection without removal.

Are donning aids required?
Yes, they are essential. Donning 30-40 mmHg compression is difficult. Gloves and a frame are strongly recommended to apply the stocking smoothly and safely over the foot and heel.

How does sizing work for open-toe at this level?
Extremely precise ankle and calf measurements are taken by a professional in the morning. The foot length must also be correct to ensure the open toe sits properly at the ball of the foot.

Can I wear these with sandals?
Yes, the open-toe design is compatible with many sandals, allowing for discreet wear of maximum compression in casual settings.

What if I have swelling in my toes?
Open-toe stockings are generally not recommended if you have significant toe edema, as the swelling can bulge uncomfortably through the opening. Consult your doctor.

How do I care for them?
Hand wash gently. Reshape the open toe when laying flat to dry. Never use bleach, fabric softener, or high heat, as this will destroy the compression.
