Fortunately there are a couple of really simple devices that can help make getting into and out of even the strongest compression hosiery a much less painful task.
Getting them on is greatly simplified by our Compression Sock Donner pictured below:
This frame is a big improvement over donning gloves and metal racks for several reasons 1) Your can load the sock onto this frame while it sits on your lap or table. That's a big advantage for somebody with a stiff back or limited mobility. 2) As you can see from the picture there is no bending all the way down to your toes like there is with donning gloves. Just grip the handles and gently pull up. 3 ) The plastic frame has no weld spots or flaking chrome plating which can snag and ruin your delicate compression socks. 4) This frame breaks down into 3 pieces so you can easily take it with you. 5) There is special guide channel for your heel so that the sock and your foot remain in alignment while you are pulling the sock up. This prevents the frustrating experience of struggling to put your socks on, only to find that they are on cockeyed and now in addition to struggling to put them on, you've got to struggle to take them off! This Compression Sock frame will take the struggle out of you morning ritual. It's made by Maddak one of the country's leaders in aids for daily living and is only $39.99. Check in out at:
