USAGE GUIDELINES

• Follow Clinical Advice: Wear these stockings according to your physician, nurse, or therapist’s instructions.
• Inspection: Use the top-of-foot opening to check toes and skin regularly for color, temperature, or swelling changes.
• Duration: Wear during periods of immobility or as prescribed, do not exceed recommended wear times without professional advice.
• Discomfort Protocol: If you experience numbness, increased pain, tingling, or discoloration, remove the stocking and consult a healthcare provider immediately.
• Use During Sleep: Only wear overnight if advised by a clinician. Some patients are instructed to wear anti-embolism stockings while sleeping during early recovery phases.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Routine Cleaning: Hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent after each day of use or according to hospital laundering policy.
• Machine Wash Guidance: If machine washing is necessary, place stockings in a mesh laundry bag and select a gentle cycle with cold water.
• Drying: Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight, and avoid tumble drying to preserve elasticity.
• Do Not Bleach or Iron: Bleach and high heat will degrade the elastic fibers and reduce compression effectiveness.
• Storage: Store flat or gently rolled in a cool, dry place; avoid hanging by the waistband, which may stretch the elastic.
