Description
The Truform 8845 Knee-High Compression Stockings (30-40 mmHg) are designed for therapeutic purposes, offering strong medical-grade compression to manage severe venous and circulation-related conditions. These stockings are ideal for those who need firm compression to alleviate leg discomfort, and swelling, and prevent serious complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Key Features:
- 30-40 mmHg Compression Level:
- This high compression level is categorized as Class II or Class III and is typically used for treating more advanced venous conditions.
- Graduated compression means the strongest pressure is applied at the ankle, gradually reducing toward the knee to aid in blood circulation and reduce swelling.
- Knee-High Length:
- The stockings extend from the foot to just below the knee, offering localized compression to the lower leg and calf. This length is especially useful for individuals with conditions localized to the lower extremities.
- Indications for Use:
- Ideal for treating conditions such as:
- Severe varicose veins
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention
- Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
- Severe swelling (edema)
- Post-surgical recovery and after sclerotherapy
- Venous ulcers
- Ideal for treating conditions such as:
- Graduated Compression Design:
- The stockings feature a graduated compression profile, applying firm pressure at the ankle and decreasing up the leg to promote efficient blood flow and reduce pooling of blood in the veins.
- Durable and Comfortable Fabric:
- Made from a blend of high-quality materials designed to be durable, breathable, and comfortable for long-term wear.
- Typically composed of a nylon/spandex blend, the fabric is soft and smooth against the skin, offering a comfortable fit while maintaining its compression strength.
- Opaque Material:
- The opaque finish provides a discreet look, making these stockings suitable for daily wear. The material is designed to look similar to regular dress socks or stockings, so they can be worn in both professional and casual settings.
- Reinforced Heel and Toe:
- The stockings come with a reinforced heel and toe for added durability in high-stress areas, ensuring a longer lifespan and better comfort.
- Stay-Up Design:
- Some models may feature a non-slip top band that helps keep the stockings in place throughout the day without the need for frequent adjustment.
- Moisture-Wicking Properties:
- The fabric is designed to wick moisture away from the skin, helping to keep your legs dry and comfortable, even during extended periods of wear.
Benefits:
- Improves Circulation: Encourages proper blood flow from the legs back to the heart, reducing the risk of blood clots and venous insufficiency.
- Reduces Swelling and Discomfort: Effective in reducing leg swelling (edema), heaviness, and discomfort associated with poor circulation.
- Prevents DVT: Particularly useful for individuals recovering from surgery, or those who spend extended periods sitting or standing, as it reduces the risk of blood clots forming in the veins.
Size Measurements
For the Truform 8845 Knee-High Compression Stockings (30-40 mmHg), getting the right size is crucial to ensure proper fit, comfort, and therapeutic benefit. Below are the steps and measurements needed to determine your correct size.
Required Measurements:
- Ankle Circumference (b):
- Measure the narrowest part of your ankle, just above the ankle bone.
- This is the most critical measurement, as the compression is strongest at the ankle.
- Calf Circumference (c):
- Measure around the widest part of your calf.
- Calf Length (l) (optional):
- Measure from the bottom of your foot (heel) to just below the bend of your knee while standing.
Step-by-Step Measurement Instructions:
- Ankle Circumference (b):
- Using a flexible measuring tape, wrap it around the narrowest part of your ankle, just above the ankle bone.
- Ensure that the tape is snug but not tight.
- This measurement is crucial for determining the correct compression around the ankle, which is where compression stockings are most effective.
- Calf Circumference (c):
- Measure the widest part of your calf.
- Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight.
- This measurement will help determine how well the stockings will fit around your calf.
- Calf Length (l) (optional):
- Measure the length from your heel (floor) to just below the bend of your knee (calf length).
- This helps determine the appropriate length for knee-high stockings.
Truform 8845 Size Chart:
Typically, Truform provides a size chart based on ankle and calf circumferences. Below is a general guide for sizing, but you should refer to the official Truform size chart provided with the product for exact measurements.
Additional Tips:
- Time of Measurement: Measure early in the morning, as legs tend to swell throughout the day.
- Use a Flexible Tape Measure: Ensure the tape measure is snug but not tight, and take multiple measurements if needed to ensure accuracy.
- Compare Measurements to the Size Chart: Based on your ankle and calf circumferences, choose the size that best matches your measurements from the Truform size chart.
- If between sizes: It’s generally recommended to choose the smaller size for a tighter fit, but you should consult your healthcare provider to confirm.
Proper sizing ensures that the Truform 8845 stockings will provide the correct compression level and be comfortable for daily use. Always consult with your doctor or a healthcare professional before using 30-40 mmHg compression stockings to ensure they are appropriate for your condition.
