There are 2 types of compression stockings; those without a seam are more elastic than those with a seam. This can make it more of a challenge to put them on or take them off. In that case, we advise you to use a sleeve. It is up to you how you use the sleeve. We advise you to read the manual with care and to watch our instruction videos.
Watch ‘More instruction videos ‘ for alternative use with, for instance, thigh-high stockings and for two ways of using the sleeve’
