For a client managing a venous leg problem who needs firm daily compression below the knee, this Varisan Top knee high stocking gives graduated support that works with the calf muscle pump to help venous return. It is knitted for people with oedema, varicose veins, trophic skin changes or a healed ulcer where recurrence is the worry.
The long leg length suits taller clients or anyone whose calf measurement sits high up the leg, so the top band lands below the knee crease and does not roll or cut in. The open toe leaves the toes free, which helps clients who find a closed toe uncomfortable and lets a carer check skin colour without taking the whole stocking off.
An anatomically shaped heel keeps the foot sitting correctly in the stocking, and the comfort foot construction makes donning easier for clients with limited hand strength. The fabric is soft to touch and opaque, so it looks like ordinary hosiery under clothing.
