Choose the stocking with the ankle circumference that matches your measurement. If you use the SolvaCare measuring tape, the color corresponding to your ankle circumference also indicates the color coding of the stocking. If your calf is very thick in relation to your ankle, we advise you to take 1 size larger.\n\nPutting on the stocking\n\nStep 1: \nReach into the stocking up to the heel piece. Grasp the heel piece and turn the stocking inside out up to the heel piece.\n\nStep 2: \nPlace the stocking over the foot, ensuring that the dark part of the heel piece is under the heel.\n\nStep 3: \nGrasp the remaining part of the stocking that is still inside out between your thumb and fingers, and gently pull it up over the ankle and calf.\n\nStep 4:\nEnsure that the stocking fits smoothly against the skin and that the band at the top of the stocking is not folded over. Make sure that the top of the stocking ends two fingers below the hollow of the knee. This is important to ensure good circulation.\n\nTaking off the stocking:\n\nStep 1: \nSimply grasp the top of the stocking and pull it gently but firmly down over the calf, ankle, and foot. Be extra careful with wounds or fragile skin. Be careful with sharp nails, and do not pull down hard with just 2 fingers. This could tear the stocking.\n\nStep 2:\nIf necessary, place your thumbs next to the Achilles tendon under the stocking to easily get it over your heel.\n\nSolvaCare compression stockings are most effective in supporting blood circulation when they are properly fitted. How do you check that? Pay close attention to the following instructions:\n\nEnsure the stocking fits well and smoothly over the entire lower leg.\nEnsure that the dark-colored heel piece fits snugly under the heel.\nEnsure that the top edge of the stocking is not folded over.\nThe top edge of the stocking should end two fingers below the hollow of the knee.\nSolvaCare compression stockings are elastic in both width and length. People with long lower legs can pull the stocking further up. To do this, make rotating movements with your hands (as if you are turning a steering wheel back and forth) while putting on the stocking, and the fabric will give way. \nThis has no effect on the pressure profile and the function of the stocking.\n\nWashing instructions\nThe stockings can be machine washed at a maximum of 75 ºC. The effective compression profile is guaranteed for up to 15 washes. \nMachine drying of the stockings will shorten their lifespan. It is best to dry the stockings on a clothesline or drying rack. \nDo not hang the stockings over a heater or other heat source to dry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Storage advice \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStore dry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedical device.
