Tips for putting the stockings on
Put on the stockings first thing in the morning after getting up, as long as your legs
are free from swelling. Please do not pull the compression stockings up by the edge
or the grip top, instead, slide it upwards with your hands. We recommend wearing
household rubber gloves to make it easier to put on the stockings and to protect the
knitted fabric. Jewellery and long fingernails can damage the stockings. Please also
pay attention to regular foot care and proper footwear. Ask your medical retailer about
Ofa Grip special gloves and Ofa Fit Magnide, the practical dressing aid for compression
stockings from Ofa Bamberg, available with open and closed toe. Ofa Fit Magnide is
made of very smooth canvas material and enables the stockings to slide easily over
the foot.
To put the stockings on, turn
it inside out as far as the
foot. Slip the foot section
over your toes and then over
the instep.
Now carefully pull the leg
section over your heel.
Please avoid pulling up
the stockings at the end or
grip top.
Pull the rest of the
stockings up evenly without
overstretching it. Finally,
adjust the stockings on
the leg until there are no
wrinkles.
Putting on your open toe
compression stockings
is much easier with the
supplied Ofa dressing
aid. Slip your foot into the
dressing aid so that it reaches
just above the heel.
Now pull the stockings on
until the heel is in the right
place. This is very easy with
the Ofa dressing aid.
To take out the dressing
aid, pull back the forefoot
section of the stockings.
Pull the dressing aid out
over the tip of your toes.
Then carefully roll back
the forefoot section of the
stocking again. Then pull the
rest of the stocking up evenly
without overstretching it.
Finally, adjust the stockings
on the leg until there are no
wrinkles.
