This product provides medical-grade Class 2 compression (30-40 mmHg). Medical-grade compression garments (20-30 mmHg and above) are commonly covered under Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner. It may also qualify as an eligible medical expense under the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit. We're happy to prepare an itemized estimate for your insurer — use Get an Insurance Estimate for this item, or add several to your cart and request one for everything at once. No charge, and it's not an order. Coverage details, annual limits, and prescription requirements vary by plan, so please confirm your specific benefits with your provider and keep your prescription and itemized receipt for your claim.

Measure first thing in the morning, before swelling builds, with the tape snug but not tight.

Each Fit is written as Fit, Length:

Fit — Normal or Plus (Wide Calf). Plus is the same size cut wider through the calf and thigh.
Length — Short or Long, set by your leg length

Check the size chart below. If your measurements don't fit a size on it, contact us and we'll help.

Size		S		M		L		XL
		Normal	Plus	Normal	Plus	Normal	Plus	Normal	Plus
Thigh circumference (cm)at the gluteal fold	cG	40 – 50	50 – 60	50 – 60	60 – 68	60 – 68	68 – 74	68 – 74	74 – 82
Calf circumference (cm)at the widest point of the calf	cC	28 – 33	33 – 38	33 – 38	38 – 43	38 – 43	43 – 48	43 – 48	48 – 54
Ankle circumference (cm)narrowest point, just above the ankle bone	cB	19 – 22		22 – 25		25 – 28		28 – 32

All figures in cm. Normal and Plus are the two circumference fits every size is made in; they change the leg measurements, not the ankle, which is the same for either.

Length		Short	Long
Thigh highfloor to the gluteal fold	ℓG	up to 71 cm	over 71 cm

Machine wash in cold or cool water (about 30°C/86°F) on the gentle or delicate cycle
Wash with similar colours using a regular detergent with no additives
Never use fabric softener — it can impair the medical effect of a compression garment
Use a mesh laundry bag to protect the knit; hand washing is gentler still and may extend the garment's life
For light use, washing every two to three wears is enough; heavy use needs more frequent washing
Wash regularly — regular washing is what keeps the knit and the seams at full compression
Lay flat to air dry — do not hang to dry (the fabric can stretch out of shape) and do not tumble dry
