How to determine the proper size

To obtain maximum benefit from the stocking the leg must be correctly measured: for this purpose, technical or specialist assistance is recommended. The measurements should be taken preferably in the morning when the legs are less edematous.

MEASUREMENTS TO BE TAKEN:

• Circumference of the ankle (cB), at the narrowest point. This is the point of maximum pressure.
• Circumference of the leg at the highest point reached by the stocking; depending on the model, this will be:
  • Stockings reaching the groin: the circumference at the point just below the groin (cG);
  • Half way up the thigh: the circumference at the point half way between the groin and the knee (cF);
  • knee-lenght stockings: the circumference at the point just below the knee (cD).
• The length must be measured from the base of the foot (a) to the highest point reached by the stocking, and it will be, therefore:
  • (lG) for tights and stockings up to just below the groin;
  • (lF) for stockings reaching half way up the thigh;
  • (lD) for knee lenght stockings.

Solidea's therapeutic stockings are made using high-tech and innovative yarns that maintain extraordinary elasticity with the passage of time. These features have revolutionized the concept of therapeutic stockings up to now on the market.

• The weight / height ratio table can be used to select the right size for limbs that are not particularly edematous (not too swollen).
• For swollen limbs you must refer to the circumference table. In this case measure limb circumferences at the points described above.

Brexit

As a result of Brexit, the United Kingdom has become a non-EEC country, and therefore customs duties may be applied to the each shipment according to the current laws in the United Kingdom.
