Compression stockings are difficult to put on someone else, so it can be helpful to know how to do it correctly. The first step is to remember that compression stockings are not like regular socks. They are not meant to be folded or worn in half. Instead, they should be turned inside-out and pushed up the leg. Open-toed stockings are best put on with the heel on the right side and the top edge straight.

When it comes to putting compression stockings on someone else, it’s important to follow your health care provider’s directions. If you notice any unusual changes or irritation, it’s best to contact your healthcare provider immediately. Also, remember to remove your compression stockings at night. This will give your legs a break and allow you to wash them. Don’t forget to wash your stockings, too.

When putting compression stockings on someone else, you will need a special donning device. Several donning devices are available commercially. Medi Butler, Juzo Slippie Gator, and Sigvaris Doff n’ Donner are popular products. When choosing a donning tool, make sure to check the measurements and size requirements to avoid any mishaps. You can also purchase donning gloves, which will help you grip the stockings without tearing them. Many brands make these tools, which you can find online or in medical supply stores.
