Aids application of open toe compression and anti-embolism stockings
The StockingAid is an inexpensive aid for putting on open toe compression and anti-embolism stockings. It is made from our proven SlideMateâ„¢ materials in both single patient use and washable. It rolls over on itself when removing it to minimise friction.
The StockingAid is suitable for use with open toe compression and anti-embolism stockings. It is important that anyone using the StockingAid is adequately trained in both its use as well as application of compression and stockings.
Ensure proper sizing of stockings and always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
