Jobst UltraSheer Knee High Compression Stockings 15-20 mmHg Natural Medium

UltraSheer is the Jobst range for people who need everyday compression but want it to look like regular sheer hosiery. These knee-high stockings give 15-20 mmHg graduated compression, firmest at the ankle and easing towards the knee, for tired, aching legs, mild swelling of the feet and ankles, and spider or minor varicose veins. The satin-touch yarn is fine and breathable with a slight sheen, in a natural skin tone. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Key Features

• Graduated compression of 15-20 mmHg (compression class 1)
• Sheer, lightweight satin-touch yarn with a subtle shimmer
• Breathable, with ventilation zones knitted into the sole
• SoftFit comfort band holds the stocking up without digging in
• Knee-high length, colour natural

Sizing

This listing is size Medium. Measure the narrowest part of the ankle and the widest part of the calf, ideally in the morning before swelling builds, and compare with the Jobst UltraSheer size chart.

• Ankle circumference: 21-25cm
• Calf circumference: 30-42cm

Regular knee-high length suits a lower leg (floor to just below the knee) of about 38cm or more. A pharmacist can help if you sit between sizes.

How to Use

• Turn the stocking inside out as far as the heel.
• Open out the foot section with both hands and pull it over the foot up to the heel.
• Work the stocking up the leg a section at a time, turning it right side out as you go.
• Smooth it evenly with both hands so there are no wrinkles. Rubber gloves help with grip.

For the best results, put them on each morning soon after getting up and wear them through the day.

Care

Wash daily or every second day in a mild detergent without fabric softener, optical brighteners or stain removers. Rinse well, press out water in a towel rather than wringing, and keep away from heaters and direct sunlight while drying.

Warnings

Check with your doctor before wearing compression if you have arterial disease, diabetes with reduced feeling in the feet, heart failure, or broken or fragile skin on the legs. Stop wearing and get advice if you have pain, numbness or colour changes in the toes.
