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.

Wash daily after wearing -- washing restores the fabric's elasticity
Hand wash, or machine wash on a gentle cycle between 30–40°C (86–104°F)
Use a mild detergent made for compression hosiery; never use fabric softener
Do not bleach or dry clean
Do not wring -- gently press out excess water in a towel instead
Turn stockings with a lace or crystal-motif band inside out and place in a laundry net before washing
Dry flat or tumble dry on a low/gentle setting; never dry in direct sun or on a radiator or heater

Put your compression garment on first thing in the morning, before swelling has built up, and make sure your skin is completely dry. Fabric or rubber gloves protect the knit and make the whole job easier.

Reach inside the garment, take hold of the heel and turn it inside out down to that point.
Stretch the foot opening with both hands, slide your foot in and draw the fabric carefully up over the heel.
Check the toe and heel are sitting where they should before you go any further.
Work the fabric up the leg a little at a time, spreading it evenly and smoothing out wrinkles; never overstretch it, and grip the knit rather than the seam of the top band.
Finish with the panty comfortable at the waist and the gusset sitting securely at the crotch.

Unless your prescriber says otherwise, wear it from morning to night, every day. Ask us about donning aids such as the medi Butler if gripping or bending is difficult.
