Duomed Soft Class 2 Compression Stockings Thigh Length Closed Toe with Top Band 

DUOMED soft thigh length compression stockings - daily wear for gentle care. Graduated compression elastic hosiery in compliance with British Standard (BS 6612:1985)

• UNIQUE FEATURE: British Standard elastic hosiery with a silicone topband

Notes & tips: Silicone is an inert substance and therefore will not cause an allergic reaction. In some cases irritation may occur but this is caused by the skins properties - mainly the products used on the skin (skin care products), heat (perspiration) and hygiene or a combination of all 3 things.

Top tips to combat any irritation are:

• Do not use emollients directly where the silicone topband is going to sit
• Change the topband position throughout the day (only a slight move is necessary) - this allows any perspiration beneath the silicone to dry
• Clean the topband with damp cloth (no soap) in order to remove any washing powder or fabric softener -the residue of these products can cause an allergic reaction

Intended purpose:

Round knitted medical stockings are used for compression of the lower extremities, mainly for the treatment of disorders of the venous systems
