Activa Class 2 Below Knee Open Toe Compression Stockings – XL

Overview

Activa Class 2 Below Knee Compression Stockings are medical-grade compression hosiery that apply the greatest pressure at the ankle, easing gradually up towards the knee. Class 2 is 18–24mmHg graduated compression, and the seller advises that they are worn only after assessment and fitting by a healthcare professional.

Advanced Tactel® Micro nylon and Lycra® Soft fibres make them lightweight, soft and generally easier to apply than many traditional compression stockings. The open-toe style suits anyone who prefers extra toe comfort, wears certain footwear, or needs regular foot inspection. Latex free, easy to wash and quick drying for everyday use when correctly fitted.

Specifications

What’s in the box

• Activa Class 2 Below Knee Open Toe Compression Stockings, XL

Good for

• Adults advised by a nurse, GP or pharmacist to wear Class 2 compression hosiery
• Long days on your feet when daytime graduated compression has been recommended

Things to consider

• Correct measurement matters — have your legs measured by your GP, practice nurse or pharmacist before buying to get the right size and compression level.
• Not suitable for everyone, including people with severe peripheral arterial disease, severe heart failure with leg swelling, untreated leg skin infections or severe peripheral neuropathy without professional advice.
• Compression hosiery is snug by design; an application aid may help. Apply first thing in the morning, smooth out folds and never roll the top down.
• Stockings gradually lose elasticity with regular use — stop using them if damaged, and remove them and seek medical advice promptly if you notice increasing leg discomfort, numbness, skin colour changes or severe swelling.
