JOBST Opaque Women's Pantyhose 30-40 mmHg Compression Stockings

$202.86

JOBST® Opaque waist-high compression stockings are a medical garment for women, knitted at 30-40 mmHg. The compression is graduated — firmest at the ankle and easing as it goes up the leg — which supports the return of blood from the legs towards the heart.

Opaque is JOBST's matte everyday line. A blend of soft yarns and a close knit give it a smooth, non-shiny finish that discreetly covers small imperfections, while moisture-management fibres help keep skin dry. The heel and toe are reinforced for everyday durability.

The waist-high style joins two legs into a panty that reaches the waist, so it needs no top band to stay up. A closed toe encloses the toes like an ordinary sock. JOBST lists 30-40 mmHg for severe varicose veins, severe limb swelling or lymphatic edema, chronic venous insufficiency, prevention of venous ulcer recurrence, and recovery after surgery.

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.

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

How to put on your JOBST Opaque waist-high compression stockings:

Turn the stocking inside out all the way down to the heel
Using both hands, pull apart the folded-in foot part and pull it over your foot, all the way to the heel
Gradually pull the stocking over the instep and heel
Work the stocking upward, returning it to a right-side-out position piece by piece
Smooth it out by massaging with both hands until it sits without creases — rubber gloves make this much easier
For the waist-high style, keep working the garment up to mid-thigh, then stand
With both hands, grab a handful of fabric and pull it up to your waist, snug at the midsection so it will not slide down
Slip your hands palm-out into the back, lift the fabric away from your skin, and let it fall back so it sits smoothly over the buttocks

Wear your compression garments regularly and consistently. JOBST recommends putting them on in the morning, immediately after getting up.
