Sorgen Classique (Lycra) Compression Stockings For Varicose Veins Class 2 Thigh Length Xlarge

Sorgen Classique Class 2 thigh-length compression stockings are open-toe stockings made from a polyamide and elastane blend. They provide graduated compression that is firmest at the ankle and gradually lighter towards the thigh. Class 2 provides moderate compression of 23 to 32 mmHg.

Measure your bare leg in the morning before swelling begins, using a soft tape. Measure the ankle at its narrowest point just above the ankle bone, the calf at its widest point, and the thigh 20 cm above the knee. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size.

Put the stockings on in the morning. Turn each stocking inside out down to the heel, place your foot inside with the heel correctly positioned, then ease it up bit by bit and smooth out any folds. Do not pull from the top band. Wear them when you get up and remove them at bedtime.

• Class 2 moderate compression: 23 to 32 mmHg.
• Graduated compression that is firmest at the ankle and gradually reduces up the leg.
• Thigh-length design with a silicone grip top to help keep the stocking in place.
• Open-toe design for a cooler feel at the front of the foot.
• Polyamide and elastane blend designed for durability.

• Ask a doctor whether Class 2 compression and thigh length are suitable for you.
• Do not sleep in the stockings unless your doctor tells you to.
• Hand wash in lukewarm water with mild soap. Do not wring. Dry flat in the shade.
• With daily wear, replace the pair after 4 to 6 months, as the compression may reduce over time.

Compared with knee-length compression stockings, this thigh-length option extends above the knee and has a silicone grip top. Knee-length stockings may be easier to put on and cooler in summer. Choose the length advised by your doctor or suited to where leg support is needed.

• May support the management of varicose veins, swollen legs and venous insufficiency when advised by a doctor.
• May be used for post-DVT care when a doctor recommends compression stockings.
• Offers leg support for tired or aching legs.
• Thigh length may be suitable when support is needed above the knee.

Sorgen offers Class 2 compression stockings in its Classique, Royale and Premiere collections. The collections are designed around different preferences, including durability, softness and comfort.

• Graduated compression may support blood flow in the legs.
