Instruction

1. Sit on a sturdy chair or side of the bed. This is to ensure proper balance.
2. With both hands, stretch open the top and bottom of the sleeve to loosen the bands. Reach into the sleeve, hold one end and pull to turn inside out.
3. With a firm grasp on each side, pull the small end (bottom band) over the toes and up to the base of the ankle. Pull the large end (top band) up over the foot and ankle, turning the sleeve right side out as you do this.
4. Gradually and with care, work the sleeve up over the calf. Place the top band in the correct position, then smooth any folds or wrinkles down toward the ankle. The top edge of the knee length sleeve should sit 1-2” below the knee bend at the back of your leg. The bottom edge should sit just above the ankle bone.

* If swelling is present in the ankle or foot, a compression calf sleeve is not recommended. A full compression sock with a foot should be used to help relieve swelling in the ankle and foot.

Helps to manage mild symptoms of varicose and spider veins.20-30 mmHg: Firm compression, helps relieve moderate symptoms of varicose veins. Helps to prevent recurring venous leg ulcers, promote circulation and more.30-40 mmHg: Extra firm compression, helps manage advanced symptoms of varicose veins, venous leg ulcers and more.

Understanding Varicose Veins

Varicose veins (also known as varicose or varicosities) happens when the veins become enlarged and overfilled with blood. Usually affecting the legs, ankles, and feet because they are the farthest from the heart and gravity makes it harder for the blood to flow upward. Symptoms can be skin discoloration, pain, swelling, aches or ulcers. Fortunately, wearing compression hosiery can help ease pain and prevent varicose veins from getting worse. The Everyday Style Connect the Dots supports your lower extremities, helping to circulate blood more efficiently in the veins and leg muscles.
