Truform Unisex Knee High Stockings

To find the correct size for your Truform knee-high compression stockings, it is essential to take accurate measurements. Follow these easy steps to ensure a proper fit:

Step 1: Measure Ankle Circumference

1. Locate the Narrowest Part of the Ankle: This is just above the ankle bone.
2. Measure: Using a flexible measuring tape, wrap it around the narrowest part of the ankle. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight.
3. Record the Measurement: Write down the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 2: Measure Calf Circumference

1. Find the Widest Part of the Calf: This is typically at the center of the calf muscle.
2. Measure: Wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of the calf, keeping it parallel to the floor and snug without squeezing.
3. Record the Measurement: Note the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 3: Measure Calf Length

1. Measure from Floor to the Bend of the Knee: While standing with a straight posture, measure from the floor up to the bend behind your knee. This ensures the stockings will reach the correct height without being too long or too short.
2. Record the Measurement: This measurement helps confirm that the stockings will fit correctly on the leg.

Step 4: Choose the Correct Size

• Refer to the Truform 8865 size chart provided below. Match your ankle and calf measurements to the chart to find your size.
• If your measurements fall between sizes, consider choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

Additional Tips:

• Measure in the Morning: Legs are typically less swollen in the morning, providing a more accurate measurement.
• Measure on Bare Skin: Avoid measuring over clothing for the most precise results.
• Repeat Measurements: Take each measurement a couple of times to ensure consistency and accuracy.

By following these instructions, you can select the perfect size of Truform 8865 knee-high compression stockings for optimal comfort and therapeutic effectiveness.

Proper care of your compression stockings is essential to maintain their elasticity, compression level, and overall effectiveness. Follow these care instructions to extend the lifespan of your stockings:

Washing Instructions:

1. Hand Wash Recommended:
   • For best results, hand wash your compression stockings in lukewarm water (around 30°C or 86°F) with a mild detergent. Hand washing is gentle on the fabric and helps preserve the elastic fibers and compression levels.
2. Machine Wash (Gentle Cycle):
   • If you prefer to use a washing machine, place the stockings in a mesh laundry bag to prevent them from stretching or snagging. Use a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid using hot water as it can damage the elastic fibers.
3. Use Mild Detergents:
   • Choose mild, non-bleach detergents that are free of fabric softeners and harsh chemicals. These substances can degrade the elastic fibers, reducing the effectiveness of the compression.

Drying Instructions:

1. Air Dry Only:
   • Lay your compression stockings flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Do not hang them, as this can cause the fabric to stretch. Avoid wringing them out; instead, gently press out excess water with a towel.
2. Avoid Heat Sources:
   • Do not tumble dry, iron, or place the stockings in direct sunlight or on a radiator. High heat can damage the elastic fibers and reduce the compression effect.

Additional Care Tips:

• Rotate Stockings: Consider having at least two pairs of Truform stockings to alternate between wears. This allows each pair to rest and regain its elasticity, extending their lifespan.
• Inspect Regularly: Check for signs of wear and tear, such as thinning fabric, holes, or reduced elasticity. Replace your stockings every 3-6 months, or as recommended by your healthcare provider.
• Avoid Lotions and Oils: Avoid applying lotions, creams, or oils to your legs before wearing the stockings, as these can break down the fabric and elastic fibers over time.
• Store Properly: Store your stockings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent damage to the fabric.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your compression stockings remain effective and comfortable for as long as possible.
