Fitting Recommendations

Before wearing compression garments, it is important that the correct size is determined. It is important to be shown EARLY the correct way to fit & wear compression garments.

Comfort & effectiveness will increase your willingness to wear the garments. When putting on stockings, it is important that you remove all jewellery and try to avoid snagging the material with their fingernails.
