If the measured values do not correspond to any of the sizes in the table (e.g. point b falls
under size S, but point d is size L) , visit a specialised medical supplies store or consult the
manufacturer. You may need a custom-made compression stocking.
If the measured values differ significantly for the right and left limb , visit a specialised
medical supplies store or consult the manufacturer. You may need a custom-made
compression stocking.
If you are on the border between two sizes, choose the bigger one. If you are unsure of
your size, visit a specialised medical supplies store or consult the manufacturer.
If you have difficulty putting on your compression medical stockings , visit a specialised
medical supplies store and request a demonstration of the correct method of putting it on.
You can also use one of the aids for putting on the product.
If the hem or lace does not stay in place on the leg (for thigh-high stockings) , wipe the
silicone strip or nubs with an alcohol solution, or shave the hair on the limb at the point of
contact of the silicone with the skin.
With a correctly selected size:
• you should feel noticeable but not unpleasant pressure over the entire length of the
compression medical aid
• the compression medical aid should not slide down when walking and should not
bunch up under the knee or at the instep
• the plain or lace edge of the compression stockings should not be too tight (for
thigh-high stockings)
Information about compression class, size, and manufacturer can be found on the tag sewn
at the upper edge of the stocking. Should the tag be removed in the course of use, sizing
information is also knit in on the stocking sole.
Putting on your compression medical stockings:
Pull the compression stocking onto the leg gradually; do not tug on the upper edge alone.
Compression medical stockings should be put on in the morning before any physical
activity and before any oedema occurs. For easier application, use the enclosed Avicenum
compression stocking textile dressing aid. The use of the textile dressing aid is illustrated on
the enclosed card. When pulling on the compression medical stockings, keep them away
from sharp objects (e.g. jewellery) or long nails. Increased care of the soles of your feet
(rough skin on the heels) will reduce the risk of damaging the product. The compression
stockings must be stretched evenly, without folding, to ensure effective pressure
distribution. If you use any body cosmetics, allow 15 minutes after application before
putting on the medical aid. In the event of visible mechanical damage to the product, stop
wearing it and replace it with a new one.
