Key Features Extra-Firm, Full-Leg Compression (30-40 mmHg): Provides the highest class of graduated medical pressure from ankle to thigh, essential for reducing severe limb volume, managing advanced venous disease, and promoting ulcer healing. Secure Silicone Dot Band for Maximum Hold: The inner silicone dot band is therapeutically essential to counteract the substantial downward force of full-leg high compression, preventing migration and ensuring the pressure gradient remains intact. Closed Toe for Complete Containment: Offers full foot and toe coverage, providing uniform pressure distribution, protection, and warmth, which is often preferred in high-compression therapy for wound care. Medically Durable Construction: Built with a robust, high-spandex fabric blend and heavily reinforced heel and toe to withstand the extreme forces of donning and daily wear. Elegant Opaque Coverage for Discretion: Maintains the concealing, hosiery-like appearance along the entire leg, offering a cosmetic benefit during intensive medical treatment. Moisture-Wicking for Extended Wear Skin Health: Critical fabric technology manages perspiration under the opaque material, supporting skin integrity which is paramount during long hours of wear. 3D Medical Knit for Controlled Application: Engineered for specific elasticity to aid in the challenging process of donning an extra-firm thigh high stocking while maintaining accurate therapeutic pressure. Comprehensive Medical Device Design: Manufactured as a Class 3 medical device to meet stringent requirements for the management of severe chronic venous and lymphatic disorders. Therapeutic Benefits and Use Manages Severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) Throughout the Limb: Delivers sustained high pressure to combat profound venous reflux and hypertension along the full length of the leg, addressing symptoms from ankle to thigh. Active Venous Leg Ulcer Healing with Full-Leg Support: A cornerstone of compression therapy for ulcers, providing the uninterrupted high pressure required for healing, often over wound dressings. Controls Severe Edema and Lymphedema of the Entire Leg: Applies strong, stable compression to reduce substantial fluid accumulation, soften fibrotic tissue, and maintain volume reduction achieved through decongestive therapy. Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) Management: Helps alleviate the disabling pain, extensive swelling, and skin damage caused by PTS by providing consistent high compression to the entire affected limb. Prevention of Venous Ulcer Recurrence: Essential maintenance therapy after an ulcer has healed, with full-leg high compression proven to significantly reduce reoccurrence rates. Ensures Effective Treatment Delivery: The secure silicone band fit is a therapeutic requirement for the compression to work as prescribed over the full leg, preventing harmful pressure concentration at the knee. Supports Intensive Lymphedema Protocols: Used to maintain compression between complete decongestive therapy (CDT) sessions, preventing fluid reaccumulation in severe cases. Post-Surgical Recovery for Major Procedures: Often used after extensive venous surgery, lymphatic surgery, or orthopedic procedures to control swelling, shape the limb, and promote optimal outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions Why is a thigh high necessary at 30-40 mmHg?For conditions like severe lymphedema, extensive varicose veins above the knee, or ulcers on the thigh, compression must extend to the root of the limb to be effective. Knee-highs cannot address pathology or swelling in the thigh. What donning aids are required for these stockings?Donning aids are not optional; they are essential. A sturdy metal or plastic frame donner is highly recommended for a 30-40 mmHg thigh high, along with donning gloves. Professional fitting assistance is often advised. Can these be worn over bulky wound dressings?They can be worn over dressings, but the dressing should be as smooth and low-profile as possible to avoid pressure points. For very bulky dressings, a larger size or alternative compression system may be needed per physician advice. How does the silicone dot band compare to a garter belt?The silicone band is integrated and designed for direct skin contact. A garter belt is an external accessory that secures the top of the stocking. The band is often preferred for simplicity, but a belt may be used if the band causes irritation. How do I measure for such a high-compression garment?Extreme precision is non-negotiable. Follow our thigh high sizing guide meticulously. Consider having measurements taken by a certified fitter for the first pair. What if the band is too tight or causes marks?Deep, painful, or persistent marks that don't fade within 20-30 minutes of removal may indicate the size is too small. Consult your prescribing physician or fitter for a size check. Do not continue wearing an improperly sized garment.
