Tips for putting the stockings on
Put on the stockings first thing in the morning after getting up, as long as
your legs are free from swelling. Please do not pull the compression stockings
up by the edge or the grip top, instead, slide it upwards with your hands. We
recommend wearing household rubber gloves to make it easier to put on the
stockings and to protect the knitted fabric. Jewellery and long fingernails
can damage the stockings. Please also pay attention to regular foot care and
proper footwear. Ask your medical retailer about Ofa Grip special gloves and
Ofa Fit Magnide, the practical dressing aid for compression stockings from Ofa
Bamberg, available with open and closed toe. Ofa Fit Magnide is made of very
smooth canvas material and enables the stockings to slide easily over the foot.
How to put them on, closed toe
