For some, they are an absolute game change, others not so much 🤷🏻‍♀️ Here are a few ways I’ve used them successfully: 1. Over an open or acute wound, open skin, or injury to prevent irritation from the pulling of a traditional compression stocking over the area repeatedly. 2. To speed up donning/doffing for caregivers. 3. For individuals with good strength but reduced endurance as it is typically a faster application process. Note: Always monitor skin around the zipper as it can become a pressure point for some! #occupationaltherapy #otstudent #physicaltherapy #pt #otd #caregiving #arthritis #chronicillnesses #chronicpain #lymphedema #swellingfeet"
