Shorter legs and short lower limbs are a common reason compression stockings end up bunched behind the knee. This Varisan Top knee high is knitted in a short leg length so the top band finishes where it should, and the graduated Class 2 compression stays where the clinician intended it.
It is indicated for swollen, heavy and painful legs, oedema, varicose veins and venous skin changes, including clients who have healed an ulcer and need ongoing compression to hold that result. The open toe suits clients with sensitive toes, bunions or nail changes, and makes daily skin checks quick for family and support workers.
The circular knit fabric is opaque and breathable, and the shaped heel holds the foot in the correct position through the day. Donning is helped by the comfort foot section, which matters when a client is putting the stocking on alone each morning.
