The Stocking Slider Enclosed Toe Wrap Around is designed to help put on compression stockings. It may help people who cannot bend and need to wear very strong elasticated stockings, such as TED Stockings, which assist with lymphoedema. The advantage of the Stocking Slider Enclosed Toe Wrap Around over our standard Stocking Slider - Enclosed Toe is that it is long enough to cover the knee if getting stockings over the knee is a problem.
Key Features
- Designed for easy application of compression stockings.
- Assists individuals who have difficulty bending.
- Long enough to cover the knee for added convenience.
Additional Information
For some people, this product may be difficult to use. Where possible, we recommend using Open Toe compression stockings, for which the standard Stocking Slider works very well. For Carers assisting people to put their stockings on, the Portable Leg/Foot Support and Kneeling Support are useful products to make manual handling tasks easier. These products also have special carry bags available for Carers who do home visits.
