This advanced combination is specifically engineered for severe venous and lymphatic conditions where both fit stability and toe accommodation are non-negotiable medical requirements. Find your correct size for optimal therapeutic benefit.

As a globally trusted, physician-recommended brand, JOBST draws on decades of clinical expertise in venous and lymphatic care to ensure every compression garment meets rigorous medical standards.

Key Features

• Medical-Grade Dual-Feature Combination: The open toe allows for essential toe monitoring, visual inspection, and pressure relief, while the silicone band is therapeutically crucial to prevent migration of the high-compression garment during intensive treatment protocols.
• High Therapeutic Pressure (30-40 mmHg): Delivers the strong, precisely graduated compression required to manage severe edema, facilitate venous ulcer healing, and treat advanced post-thrombotic syndrome under medical supervision.
• Secure Fit Critical for High Compression: The medical-grade silicone band is especially important at this extra-firm pressure level to counteract the substantial downward force of the compression fabric and maintain the proper pressure gradient throughout the day.
• Patient-Focused Design for Treatment Compliance: Addresses two common barriers to wearing high compression therapy—toe discomfort and roll-down—making consistent daily wear more achievable and improving overall treatment outcomes.
• Durable, High-Tensile Medical Construction: Built with a 70% nylon, 30% spandex blend specifically engineered to withstand the mechanical stresses of high compression and frequent donning and doffing while maintaining therapeutic integrity.
• Facilitates Essential Toe & Foot Care: The open toe design permits easier application of prescribed moisturizers, regular inspection for skin breakdown and circulatory changes, and accommodation of orthotics, toe separators, or wound dressings.
• Enhanced Donning Capability: The open toe combined with silicone security makes application of extra-firm compression more manageable for patients and caregivers, improving therapy adherence.
• Heavily Reinforced Construction: Features extra reinforcement in heel, sole, and band areas to ensure durability and maintain precise compression gradient under the most demanding clinical applications.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Manages Severe Lymphedema with Clinical Practicality: Provides the necessary high sustained pressure while allowing for essential toe checks, daily foot hygiene, and reducing the risk of maceration and fungal infection in the enclosed toe box environment.
• Supports Comprehensive Venous Ulcer Healing Protocols: Maintains the consistent high compression needed for evidence-based ulcer healing, with a secure fit that doesn't disrupt wound dressings or compromise the healing environment during activity.
• Essential for Patients with Toe Pathologies: A medical necessity rather than preference for those with significant structural deformities, thick fungal nails, diabetic neuropathy requiring visual monitoring, or peripheral arterial disease requiring toe assessment.
• Ensures Effective Therapeutic Pressure Delivery: The silicone band prevents the stocking from slipping downward, which is absolutely critical for maintaining the precise graduated pressure distribution needed to manage severe venous and lymphatic conditions.
• Improves Tolerance of Intensive Therapy Regimens: By simultaneously enhancing comfort through toe freedom and stability through secure positioning, this design can significantly improve a patient's ability to adhere to a demanding long-term compression regimen.
• Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) Management: Helps control disabling symptoms of PTS including severe pain, extensive swelling, and skin changes in patients who require both maximum compression and toe accommodation for concurrent conditions.
• Supports Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT): Essential component of comprehensive lymphedema treatment when toe involvement, monitoring, or separate toe bandaging is part of the clinical protocol.
• Enables Wound Care Access: Allows wound care specialists to monitor and treat leg ulcers while ensuring toes remain accessible for separate assessment, treatment, or protection if diabetic precautions are necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the silicone band so critically important at 30-40 mmHg?
At this high pressure level, the compression garment exerts a substantial downward force due to fabric tension. The silicone band is therapeutically critical to prevent roll-down, which would pool compression at the knee, break the graduated therapeutic gradient, and render the treatment ineffective or potentially harmful. It's a medical necessity, not just a comfort feature.

Can these be safely used with an active wound on the leg?
Yes, they are commonly prescribed as part of venous leg ulcer treatment protocols. The open toe does not affect compression therapy for calf or ankle wounds. The silicone band helps maintain stable positioning over wound dressings. Always follow your wound care specialist's specific instructions regarding dressing application and compression use over the wound site.

How do I put these on safely at this high compression level?
Donning aids are absolutely required at 30-40 mmHg. Use donning frames, gloves, or specialized application devices. Ensure your foot is completely through the toe opening before attempting to pull the garment up. Apply in the morning when swelling is minimal. Precise sizing per our measuring guide is absolutely non-negotiable for safe application.

What if the silicone band causes skin irritation?
While medical-grade silicone is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience sensitivity. If you notice persistent redness, itching, or rash at the band line, discontinue use and consult your prescribing physician immediately. Alternative securing methods or closed-toe styles may be recommended based on your specific clinical needs.

How often should these garments be replaced?
Medical-grade extra-firm compression typically maintains therapeutic effectiveness for 3-6 months with proper care and daily wear. Replace sooner if you notice decreased compression, fabric damage, or loss of silicone band grip.
