What are the different compression classes?
Compression garments come in different compression classes, ranges, or levels. This description differs between regions or countries. In Germany, for example, the so-called RAL-GZG standard is dividing compression garments into four different compression classes from mild to very strong compression or class I-IV. The exact pressure of each compression garment is usually specified in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and varies according to medical necessity.
It is not always useful to assign a specific compression class to a certain condition, therefore Healthcare Professionals will make individual decisions on the suitability of a certain compression level for each patient. This is usually based on the clinical condition itself, the patient’s tolerability for compression, additional conditions, and further individual needs.
How to use the product
How to use JOBST® UltraSheer compression stockings:
-
Turn the compression stocking inside out all the way to the heel.
-
Pull apart the folded-in foot part using both hands and pull over the foot all the way to the heel.
-
Then gradually pull the compression stocking upward by returning the stocking to a right-side out position piece-by-piece.
-
Then distribute the stocking evenly by massaging with both hands until the stocking fits without forming creases. It is particularly helpful to wear rubber gloves for this step.
Other recommendations: To help your legs look and feel good, wear your JOBST® medical compression stockings regularly and consistently. Ideally, you should put on your compression stockings in the morning, immediately after getting up.
