How to Properly Use and Maintain Compression Stockings?
Proper usage and maintenance of compression stockings are crucial for their effectiveness. Here are some tips:
Wear them correctly: Put them on first thing in the morning when swelling is minimal. Ensure proper fit: Avoid wrinkles or folds as they can cause skin issues. Regular washing: Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle to maintain elasticity. Replace regularly: Over time, the elasticity will wear out. Replace stockings every 3-6 months, depending on the usage and brand.
