@equipmeot1: I’ve had mixed experience with zip-on compression stockings. For some, they are an absolute game change, others not so much 🤷🏻‍♀️ Here are a few ways I’ve used them successfully: 1. Over an open or acute wound, open skin, or injury to prevent irritation from the pulling of a traditional compression stocking over the area repeatedly. 2. To speed up donning/doffing for caregivers. 3. For individuals with good strength but reduced endurance as it is typically a faster application process. Note: Always monitor skin around the zipper as it can become a pressure point for some! #occupationaltherapy #otstudent #physicaltherapy #pt #otd #caregiving #arthritis #chronicillnesses #chronicpain #lymphedema #swellingfeet

You can probably just attach a ring to the zipper pole for dexterity issues

If I may offer a tip don't pull them all the way up into your knees. It pinches nerves and restricts circulation. Ideal placement of the top cuff is 2cm below the crease at the back of your knee.

I’ve compression socks for a hell of a lot of years and nothing is tight enough except for these extreme fit ones I’m wearing now from Amazon.

They are so helpful. I hate putting on non-zippered ones so I don’t wear them- thus these are so much better because I’ll actually wear them

Hi Lindsey, I have rheumatoid arthritis that affects my right ankle & both hands. I want to start using a walking stick but they hurt my hand too much. Can you recommend anything? Thanks

Does the zipper go on the inside? I always put it on the outside for my mum.

If you've been prescribed compression hoisery by your GP (nurse) you can get compression wraps. Jobst do a whole range of compression wraps which can help with accessibility and compliance.
