Dear customer, the medical compression stockings that you hold in your hands are a useful
aid in the treatment of circulatory and lymphac disorders. You can maximize the benets
of this product by its proper use and maintenance.
stockings are a compression class 1 medical aid (I.KT, CCL1). They
were made by circular kning technology. The materials used in our compression medical
aids are kind to the skin and do not contain latex. This compression medical aid works by
applying precisely dened, graduated pressure to the leg, with a gradual reducon in force
from the ankle towards the heart. The pressure is greatest in the ankle area at point b (see
size chart), reaching values of 18 - 21 mmHg. A proper t is necessary to achieve the desired
eect. Use the compression stocking when engaged in physical acvity; compression
products should be removed for longer rest periods (unless otherwise indicated by your
doctor). is a medical aid intended for use both at home and in

Side eects may occur, especially if the compression medical aid does not t properly or
if it is worn when at rest. There may be bruising, impaired blood ow due to pressure on
blood vessels, or impaired sensivity due to excessive nerve compression. Sensive and
hypersensive individuals may experience skin irritaon (redness, itching, or blistering) in
places where the compression stocking comes into contact with the skin.

Any oedema of the lower limbs should be examined by your doctor. If this is the rst me
you experience oedema, consult your doctor before using the product. Do not use the

If the measured values do not correspond to any of the sizes in the table (e.g. point b falls
under size S, but point d is size L), visit a specialised medical supplies store or consult the
manufacturer. You may need a custom-made compression stocking.
If the measured values dier signicantly for the right and le limb,visit a specialised
medical supplies store or consult the manufacturer. You may need a custom-made
compression stocking.
If you are on the border between two sizes, choose the bigger one. If you are unsure of
your size, visit a specialised medical supplies store or consult the manufacturer.
If you have diculty pung on your compression medical stockings,visit a specialised
medical supplies store and request a demonstraon of the correct method of pung it on.
You can also use one of the aids for pung on the product.
If the hem or lace does not stay in place on the leg (for thigh-high stockings),wipe the
silicone strip or nubs with an alcohol soluon, or shave the hair on the limb at the point of
contact of the silicone with the skin.

• the compression medical aid should not slide down when walking and should not

Informaon about compression class, size, and manufacturer can be found on the tag sewn
at the upper edge of the stocking. Should the tag be removed in the course of use, sizing

Pull the compression stocking onto the leg gradually; do not tug on the upper edge alone.
Compression medical stockings should be put on in the morning before any physical
acvity and before any oedema occurs. For easier applicaon, use the enclosed Avicenum
compression stocking texle dressing aid. The use of the texle dressing aid is illustrated on
the enclosed card. When pulling on the compression medical stockings, keep them away
from sharp objects (e.g. jewellery) or long nails. Increased care of the soles of your feet
(rough skin on the heels) will reduce the risk of damaging the product. The compression
stockings must be stretched evenly, without folding, to ensure eecve pressure
distribuon. If you use any body cosmecs, allow 15 minutes aer applicaon before
pung on the medical aid. In the event of visible mechanical damage to the product, stop
wearing it and replace it with a new one.
