How to Choose Compression
- 15–20 mmHg: travel, long shifts, light swelling.
- 20–30 mmHg: moderate varicosities or edema, post-procedure (per clinician guidance).
- 30–40 mmHg & wraps: complex edema or lymphedema maintenance. Always follow medical advice.
Sizing and Fit
- Measure first thing in the morning: ankle, calf, and, if applicable, thigh and length.
- If between sizes, match the ankle first; adjust comfort with fiber choice and length.
- Use the series-specific chart and prefer wider-fit systems (e.g., PFS2) where available. Reference
Care and Longevity
- Most hosiery can be machine-washed and machine-dried; replace pairs about every six months of daily wear. Care & guarantee reference
- For wraps, re-tighten to the AccuTab range prescribed by your clinician. IFU example
