I wear compression stockings . Will this appliance help me get them on and off ?

The gadget worked rely well for normal socks. I would expect it will do the job with compression socks. Probably the hardest thing will be pulling the compression sock over the device which will depend on some elasticity in the sock to allow it to stretch over the blue foot. My best guess is yes it will work, but cannot confirm. The device was fabulous for me post hip replacement. Hope this helps.

My wife says maybe. You have to put the sock on over the plastic thing and she is not sure whether a compression sock may be too tight to do that or too long in length, but it might work. If it doesn't work you can always send it back if you buy it from Amazon - doesn't cost that much. It certainly helped my wife getting her regular socks on for the first month or two after she broke her leg. You can't take socks off with this thing.

yes, but there are different strengths of compression stockings as well. The tighter they are, the harder they will be to get this device into them. It all depends on how much strength you have and how much strength your stockings have and your own dexterity. I've bought two and pre-load them with the two socks myself and leave them for the patient, so that when the patient is ready to put on their own socks, they can do that part themselves. You can always return them if they don't work for you, right?

If they are light compression it may help, but I will be honest with you. This product in my opinion was not meant for anything but socks and it does work great for that purpose. I do not wear the compression stockings so mine is only a guess. I am truly sorry that I am unable to be of more help to you. May God bless you and yours always.

i think for both it depends on ur size, its a good product i've been using mine for a year no runs so far and the compression seems still good on my calf.

I use for regular socks. I wear socks over my supports. Yes they do stretch a little but it is still worth it to be able to put your socks on by yourself. when I had surgery on my knee I even added a cord loop to each side to extend the handles as I couldn't bend my knee. I use it every day and it is so worth it.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart. I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

I have not tried, but you probably make it work someway. I didn't find it easy with the really extra firm medical 30-40 mmHg anyway, still have to have my hubby help. It did work on less firm stockings that were only knee highs. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Well, it depends on what your doing and how much you sweat. I get hot and perspire. I don't think I've worn my compression thigh high and sweat really bad. I do know that water will remove that adhesive from my leg. It would also depend on what compression you wear. I wear 30 to 40. It does make me hot. Best advice. Just get it and try. Hope this helps. If you sweat a little, I se no problem.

Hi, the higher the number, the more the compression. Usually your doctor will tell you what compression you need.Liz

This item is a fitted fit, so it is designed to be a next to skin fit. It should not be as tight as a compression fit.

I would also say yes as they are very hard to get on. You may find some compression socks with a softer material that would be much easier for you.

The compression helps keep swelling down and supports your foot too. I think this would help you very much

Sarah, It depends on your leg strength. Seems to me there is not enough movement going on when I use mine. I slip the device little higher on my thighs so I could feel muscles working. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Not knowing what strength you have in your hands, or how much elasticity there is in compression socks, I don't know if you will have the hand strength to put compression socks onto the device. The socks I have are very roomy and easy to stretch. The device is pretty easy to use and I do love it. When my feet are damp it's less easy to use. After loading the sock onto the blue plastic piece, you put your foot into the hollowed part and pull with the strap. I hope this helps.

If you really want calf and knee compression fully then you can buy the calf skins. These tights help to increase my bloodflow and help me to feel more powerful especially when doing legs. I do not have any calf injuries or knee injuries but I use these for Spin and Heavy Leg Days.

If one has varicose veins, a doctor's prescription for support docks is advisable. A friend of my loves them, my experience with them wasn't great- had to return them. Your physician will tell you what compression is needed in your situation Andorra often than not, Amazon will have them, or your local medical supplier. Hope this helps.

Try this sight for answers to this question. FYI the Vairox is the best stocking I have found for "ease of putting on". http://www.compressionstockings.com/jobst-vairox-3040-mmhg-knee-high-open-toe-compression-stockings-with-zipper-p-539.html
