Description
The Stocking Slider – Enclosed Toe, is designed to help put on compression stockings.
It may help people who cannot bend and need to wear very strong elasticated stockings. For example, TED Stockings, which help with lymphoedema.
For some people this product may be difficult to use. Where possible, we recommend using open toe compression stockings, for which the standard Stocking Slider (sold separately) works very well.
For Carers assisting people to put their stockings on, the Portable Leg/Foot Support and Kneeling Support are useful products to make manual handing tasks easier. These products also have special carry bags available, for Carers who do home visits, etc.
