Key Features

• Silicone Band for High-Pressure Therapeutic Security: The inner medical-grade silicone dot band is therapeutically essential to counteract the substantial downward force of 30-40 mmHg compression fabric, preventing migration and loss of the critical graduated pressure gradient.
• Extra-Firm Medical Compression (30-40 mmHg): Provides the high level of precisely graduated pressure prescribed for severe venous insufficiency, active ulceration, significant edema, and advanced lymphatic disorders.
• Maintains Precise Therapeutic Pressure Profile: By keeping the stocking securely in place throughout the day, it ensures the highest compression remains precisely at the ankle, gradually decreasing up the calf as medically intended for optimal venous return.
• Durable, Reinforced Medical Construction: Built with a 72% nylon, 28% spandex blend and heavily reinforced heel and toe areas to withstand the substantial demands of high-compression daily wear and intensive donning procedures.
• Promotes Critical Therapeutic Compliance: A secure, non-slip fit reduces patient frustration, eliminates constant adjustment needs, and makes it significantly easier to adhere to a demanding long-term high-compression regimen.
• Closed Toe Design for Full Coverage: Provides complete foot and toe coverage and protection, suitable for most high-compression therapy scenarios where an open toe is not medically indicated or required.
• Wide Comfort Band Distribution: The band distributes high pressure across a broader surface area to prevent tourniquet effects while maintaining secure garment position during intensive wear.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Manages Severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Delivers consistent high sustained pressure to combat the profound venous pooling, ambulatory venous hypertension, and skin changes associated with advanced chronic venous disease.
• Active Venous Leg Ulcer Healing: A cornerstone of evidence-based compression therapy, providing the uninterrupted high pressure required to heal venous ulcers by improving microcirculation and reducing venous hypertension.
• Controls Severe Edema and Lymphedema: Applies strong, stable compression to reduce substantial fluid accumulation, soften fibrotic tissue, and maintain limb volume reduction achieved through decongestive therapy.
• Prevention of Venous Ulcer Recurrence: Essential maintenance therapy after an ulcer has healed to prevent reoccurrence, with studies showing significantly reduced recurrence rates with consistent high compression use.
• Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) Management: Helps alleviate the disabling pain, extensive swelling, and progressive skin damage caused by PTS following a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) episode.
• Ensures Effective Treatment Delivery: The secure silicone band fit is not a comfort luxury but a therapeutic requirement for the compression therapy to work as prescribed, making the band a key medical component.
• Supports Intensive Lymphedema Protocols: Essential for maintaining compression between complete decongestive therapy sessions and preventing lymphatic fluid reaccumulation in severe cases.
• Prevents Treatment Complications: Proper positioning prevents tourniquet effects at the knee, uneven pressure distribution, and other complications that can arise from poorly secured high-compression garments.

Important Medical Notice

This is a Class 3 prescription medical device. Physician evaluation, approval, and precise medical sizing are mandatory. Contraindications include severe arterial insufficiency (ABPI must be assessed and should be > 0.5), acute deep vein thrombosis, untreated cellulitis or infection, uncompensated congestive heart failure, or known silicone allergy. Do not use if it causes severe pain, numbness, coldness, or discoloration of toes or feet. Regular medical monitoring is required when using extra-firm compression. Your vascular specialist or wound care physician can determine if this compression level is appropriate for your condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the silicone band truly necessary at 30-40 mmHg compression?
For the vast majority of patients, yes, it is highly medically recommended and often essential. High-compression stockings have a substantial tendency to slide down due to the strong downward force from fabric tension, which concentrates pressure at the knee and renders treatment ineffective or potentially harmful. The silicone band ensures proper therapeutic positioning throughout the day.

How do I put these on safely at this high compression level?
Donning aids are not optional; they are absolutely required at 30-40 mmHg. Use donning gloves, a metal or plastic frame, or a specialized stocking slide. Turn the stocking inside out to the heel pocket, insert your foot, and gradually roll or pull the garment up your leg. Apply in the morning when swelling is minimal. Accurate sizing per our measuring guide is absolutely critical for both therapeutic effectiveness and ability to don the garment.

Can these be worn over wound dressings for ulcer treatment?
Yes, they are commonly prescribed for use over venous leg ulcer dressings as part of evidence-based wound healing protocols. Ensure the dressing is smooth, not bulky, and properly secured. The silicone band will help keep the compression stocking from disturbing the dressing during movement and activity. Always follow your wound care specialist's specific instructions regarding dressing changes and compression use.

What is the difference between this closed toe and the open toe version?
This closed toe style provides full foot and toe coverage for patients who don't have toe-related medical concerns or monitoring needs. The open toe version is prescribed specifically for toe monitoring, accommodation of deformities, or heat sensitivity. The compression level and silicone band therapeutic benefits are identical. Choose based on your physician's recommendation and your specific medical needs. Our compression therapy guide provides comprehensive context.

How long can I wear these in a single day?
Most patients wear extra-firm compression during waking hours and remove them at bedtime unless specifically instructed otherwise by their physician for certain acute treatment protocols. A typical wearing schedule is approximately 12-16 hours per day, though your doctor will prescribe the exact schedule appropriate for your condition.

What should I do if the silicone band causes discomfort?
While medical-grade silicone is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience sensitivity or irritation. If the band causes persistent redness, itching, or skin breakdown, consult your prescribing physician immediately. They may recommend a different securing method, size adjustment, or alternative compression style based on your skin sensitivity and therapeutic needs.
