Tips for putting the stockings on
Put on the stockings rst thing in the morning after getting up, as long as your
legs are free from swelling. Please do not pull the compression stockings up by the
edge or the grip top, instead, slide it upwards with your hands. We recommend
wearing household rubber gloves to make it easier to put on the stockings and
to protect the knitted fabric. Jewellery and long ngernails can damage the
stockings. Please also pay attention to regular foot care and proper footwear.
Ask your medical retailer about Ofa Grip special gloves and Ofa Fit Magnide, the
practical dressing aid for compression stockings from Ofa Bamberg, available with
open and closed toe. Ofa Fit Magnide is made of very smooth canvas material and
enables the stockings to slide easily over the foot.
How to put them on, closed toe
How to put them on, open toe
To put the stockings on,
turn it inside out as far
as the foot. Slip the foot
section over your toes and
then over the instep.
Now carefully pull the leg
section over your heel.
Please avoid pulling up
the stockings at the end or
grip top.
Pull the rest of the
stockings up evenly without
overstretching it. Finally,
adjust the stockings on
the leg until there are no
wrinkles.
Putting on your open toe
compression stockings
is much easier with the
supplied Ofa dressing
aid. Slip your foot into
the dressing aid so that it
reaches just above the heel.
Now pull the stockings on
until the heel is in the right
place. This is very easy with
the Ofa dressing aid.
To take out the dressing
aid, pull back the forefoot
section of the stockings.
Pull the dressing aid out
over the tip of your toes.
Then carefully roll back
the forefoot section of
the stockings again.
Then pull the rest of the
stockings up evenly without
overstretching it. Finally,
adjust the stockings on
the leg until there are no
wrinkles.

Otherwise, the adhesive strength of the grip
tops could be permanently impaired (leg hair
and dry skin can also limit the function of
the grip tops). Store the stockings in a dry
place away from sun and heat, in the original
packaging if possible.
