Jobst is the #1 Doctor Recommended manufacturer of compression stockings and other solutions to treat and prevent vascular disorders. Their gradient compression products are medical grade quality for dealing with the high blood pressure that accumulates in your feet and lower leg throughout a long day of standing on your feet.
When you wear Jobst Compression Stockings, they will increase the tissue pressure underneath the stocking to help balance the flow of fluid across capilaries and reduce swelling. They also help counteract the effects of venous hypertension which can occur over time when you are on your feet long periods. These are excellent solutions for our nursing and medical workers as well as anyone who can benefit from less swelling and vascular issues in their legs, feet and ankles.
It is important to remember that regardless of how severe your condition may or may not be, these are medical devices. For them to work properly, they need to fit you appropriately. The sizing is not related to your clothing sizes or height. It is based on the distance around your leg at certain points (depending on the length of stocking you are ordering). Use a simple tape measure (or string) to get a measurement around your ankle, calf , thigh or hip as described in the size chart provided in the category and product pages. Because these are personal products they are generally not returnable, so we encourage you to use the chart below to determine the appropriate size.
