Care instructions
The product is suitable for immediate use. We
recommend washing the product before wearing
it for the first time. Then wash daily by hand or on
a delicate fabric programme. Wash the stockings
separately with mild detergent without fabric
softener (e.g. Ofa Clean special detergent) at a
maximum temperature of 40 °C and rinse them
well. The stockings can be spun gently, but do not
wring them out. Dry your compression stockings
in air or in a dryer on a gentle cycle. Do not place
them on a heater or in direct sunlight. Never iron
the stockings. To maintain the effectiveness of your
stockings, please do not use chemical cleaning
agents, petrol, or fabric softeners. These substances
damage the knitted fabric. Compression stockings
are largely resistant to fats and oils, but should not
come into contact with ointments. Stockings with
silicone-coated grip tops should generally not come
into contact with solvents, ointments, re-greasing
washing lotions and body creams. Otherwise,
the adhesive strength of the grip tops could be
permanently impaired (leg hair and dry skin can
also limit the function of the grip tops). Store the
stockings in a dry place away from sun and heat, in
the original packaging if possible.

compression stockings

Important information
Only wear compression stockings after consultation
with your doctor. Wearing your stockings daily and
holding regular consultations with your doctor will
ensure successful treatment! The stockings must be
obtained from a medically trained specialist retailer.
Your specialist retailer will also advise you on how
to put the compression stockings on correctly. If you
experience leg pain or skin irritation while wearing
these stockings, please consult your doctor imme-
diately. You can prevent skin reactions in the area
around the grip tops by slightly adjusting the grip
tops several times during the day. Please contact
your doctor about wearing the stockings in com-
bination with using other medical devices. We test
our products within the scope of a comprehensive
quality assurance. However, if you still have cause
for complaint, please contact your specialist retailer.
Do not attempt to perform repairs yourself. Return
stockings to the specialist retailer who sold them
to you. Any pilling of the material that may arise
due to friction with other garments will not reduce
the stocking’s quality.
