Key Features & Options

• Complete Two-Part Ulcer Management System: Each set includes 1 high-compression outer stocking and 2 inner liners. The liner gently secures wound dressings, while the outer stocking delivers consistent 40+ mmHg therapeutic pressure to promote healing.
• Choose Your Application Style: Select the variant that best suits your needs: Standard (No Zipper) for traditional wear, Left Zipper, or Right Zipper. The zipper variants feature a durable, full-length zipper to significantly ease donning and doffing for patients with limited mobility, strength, or dexterity.
• High Compression with Therapeutic Stiffness: Engineered with a high static stiffness index to provide effective medical-grade compression that maximizes patient compliance and improves clinical outcomes for venous ulcer management.
• Seamless Circular Knit for Comfort: The seamless design is easy to put on, reduces pressure points, and provides superior comfort for extended daily wear, which is critical for treatment adherence.
• Integrated Wound Care Design: Specifically tailored for use over venous leg ulcers and wound dressings, offering a low-profile fit that can be worn with most styles of shoes.
• Effective Edema Control: The high-level graduated compression is highly effective at managing and reducing leg edema (swelling), a key factor in venous ulcer formation and healing.
• Open Toe for Inspection & Comfort: Features an open toe for enhanced comfort, easier inspection of toes and forefoot circulation, and better temperature regulation.
• Durable, Skin-Friendly Materials: Made from high-quality, medical-grade materials designed for repeated use and patient comfort during long-term treatment.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Promotes Healing of Venous Leg Ulcers: The primary clinical application is to apply sustained, high compression to improve microcirculation, reduce venous hypertension, and create an optimal environment for venous ulcer healing.
• Helps Prevent Ulcer Recurrence: By providing consistent external compression therapy, this system helps prevent the recurrence of venous leg ulcers after they have healed.
• Manages Moderate to Severe Edema: Effectively controls significant lower leg swelling (edema) associated with advanced chronic venous insufficiency and post-thrombotic syndrome.
• Supports Treatment of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Provides the high-level compression required to manage severe symptoms of CVI, such as severe leg heaviness, pain, and skin changes.
• Improves Patient Compliance: The availability of zipper options directly addresses a major barrier to treatment—difficulty with application—making it easier for patients to adhere to the essential daily wearing regimen.
• Integrates with Standard Wound Care: Designed to be used in conjunction with standard wound cleansing, debridement, and dressing protocols as part of a comprehensive treatment plan directed by a wound care specialist.
• Reduces Risk of Complications: Effective compression therapy helps reduce the risk of infection and other complications associated with chronic, non-healing wounds.
• Aids in Post-Thrombotic Syndrome Management: Can be used to manage the swelling, pain, and skin ulceration associated with post-thrombotic syndrome following a deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the No Zipper, Left, and Right Zipper options?
All three provide identical 40+ mmHg therapeutic compression for ulcer healing. The only difference is the application aid: No Zipper is the standard style. Left Zipper and Right Zipper have a full-length zipper sewn into the respective leg to make putting on and taking off the stocking much easier, which is ideal for patients with limited strength, arthritis, or mobility issues.

How do I choose the right size and style?
Accurate measurement by a healthcare professional is absolutely critical. Sizing must account for any wound dressing bulk. Your clinician can also help determine if a zipper style would improve your ability to use the system consistently. Please refer to our detailed sizing guide as a reference, but professional fitting is mandatory.

Can this system be used for arterial ulcers?
No. This system is strictly for venous leg ulcers. It is contraindicated for arterial (ischemic) ulcers. A thorough vascular assessment (e.g., Ankle-Brachial Index/ABI) must be performed by a doctor to ensure adequate arterial blood flow before applying high compression.

How do I care for the liner and stocking?
Follow the manufacturer's care instructions carefully. Typically, hand washing in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and air drying flat is recommended to preserve compression and material integrity. For zipper styles, ensure the zipper is fully closed before washing.

Is the zipper comfortable to wear all day?
Yes, the zippers are designed to lie flat and are covered with a soft fabric flap on the inside to prevent them from rubbing against the skin, ensuring all-day comfort.

What does "static stiffness index" mean?
It's a measure of how rigid a compression material is when standing versus lying down. A higher index indicates the stocking provides strong, effective working pressure during activity, which is crucial for venous ulcer treatment.
