• Active Venous Leg Ulcer Healing with Full-Body Support: Provides the uninterrupted high pressure required for healing venous ulcers, with the pantyhose design ensuring consistent pressure without band-related gaps or pressure points.
• Abdominal and Pelvic Support: The waist-high design can provide gentle compression and support to the lower abdomen, which may be beneficial for some patients with conditions like orthostatic hypotension or pelvic congestion.
• Prevention of Venous Ulcer Recurrence: Serves as crucial maintenance therapy after ulcer healing, with full-body high compression offering superior protection against reoccurrence.
• Post-Surgical Recovery for Major Procedures: Used after extensive surgeries (e.g., lymphatic, venous, cosmetic) to control swelling, shape the limbs and torso, and promote optimal healing outcomes.
• Eliminates Band-Related Issues: The seamless design removes the problems of thigh bands rolling, digging, or causing skin irritation, which is a significant advantage in long-term high-compression therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who typically requires 30-40 mmHg compression pantyhose?
Patients with severe bilateral lymphedema, advanced chronic venous insufficiency affecting both legs extensively, severe lipedema, or those needing full-body containment post-major surgery. It's a specialized garment for complex conditions.

How do I put on extra-firm compression pantyhose?
This is a two-person task for many patients initially. Use donning gloves and a sliding aid. Sit or lie down. Gather the pantyhose completely, insert feet, and gradually roll/pull up over legs, thighs, and hips with great care. Professional training is recommended.

Can these be worn during pregnancy?
Only under the explicit direction and supervision of a high-risk obstetrician or vascular physician for a specific severe condition (e.g., profound edema). It is not for routine pregnancy use.

How do I measure for such a garment?
Professional measurement is strongly advised. It requires numerous precise circumference and length measurements of the ankle, calf, thigh, hip, and waist. Our guide provides a basis, but clinical fitting is best.

Is the abdominal compression safe?
When prescribed and sized correctly by a physician, it is safe and therapeutic. It should not be overly tight on the abdomen. Report any difficulty breathing, heartburn, or abdominal pain to your doctor immediately.

How do I care for this medical garment?
Hand wash with great care in cool water and mild detergent. Never wring or twist. Roll in a towel to absorb excess water, then lay flat to dry away from heat and sun. Expect a long drying time.
