CARE INSTRUCTIONS
The goal of compression therapy is to encourage fluid flow in your circulatory and lymphatic system. Because of that, you will likely notice a squeezing sensation in your arms or legs when you’re wearing your compression garment. To get used to this, JOBST recommends easing into your compression therapy. Start by wearing your stocking a few hours each day, until you’re comfortable, and then wear them for longer periods of time. Other things to remember:
- Remember to check your stockings periodically to avoid wrinkles
- Remove your compression stockings before going to bed each night
- Don your compression stockings when you get up before swelling can start
- Wearing your compression garment each day is the most effective way to continue your therapy
- Failing to wear your compression stockings may result in your condition becoming more severe
Caring for Your Compression Garment
You will need to wash your compression garments to help prevent the buildup of bacteria. There are several things to keep in mind when cleaning your JOBST compression stockings.
- You can wash your garment by hand or use a washing machine
- Placing your garment in a mesh laundry bag helps protect them during wash cycles
- Use warm water, a mild soap or detergent or Jolastic® Washing Solution
- Do not use chlorine bleach to clean your stocking
- Do not use fabric softeners
