Pelican Manufacturing Stocking Off (PR20900)

https://ilcaustralia.org.au/products/20900

The Stocking Off is designed to help remove a compression stocking over the heel. It works via 3 clips placed on the top of the stocking, and using the opposite foot through a loop to pull it off. This eliminates the need to bend and reach the lower limbs with the hands.

General Details

Method of Use

Taking off Compression Stockings can be very difficult for some people, particularly if they are not able to bend over enough to remove the stocking off their heel. The ‘Stocking Off’ is designed to help remove the stocking over the heel. Before removing the stockings, sit on a safe, stable chair and if possible a low chair.

To Use: Knee High Stockings – Fold the top edge of the stocking over two or three times, depending on the thickness of the stocking top. Fully open the clip on the green tape and attach it to the stocking behind the leg, in line with the heel, as this is the clip that will take the stocking over the heel. Then attach the other two clips to the top of the stocking on each side of the leg. Make sure the clips are fully open and the plastic inside the clip is on the stocking. Pull on the clips to ensure they are correctly fitted and do not slip off. Take care not to damage the skin when fitting the clips. Fold the top of the stocking over again, with the three clips, so when removing the stocking, the clips will not be rubbing next to the skin.

Then place the toes of the other foot over the plastic tubing on the green Loop. Use the foot to push the ‘Stocking Off’ down the leg, to pull the Stocking down, over the heel and off the foot. If possible while pulling the stocking down, lift the leg with the stocking, off the floor. Depending how long the stocking is, it may be necessary to remove the foot from the tubing and place it on the part of the stocking that is now on the floor. If it is a long ‘above knee’ stocking, it may be necessary to do this in stages to completely remove the full length. It may be necessary to stand up to completely remove the stocking, so always hold on to a solid chair or bed, to prevent falling over.

To Use: Above Knee Stockings - Pull the stocking down over the knee and attach the clips as above.

Compression Tights: Removing tights may not work with the Stocking Off, as it may be difficult for the person to move their legs enough. Some people may be able to remove one leg but not the second leg.

Warning: Different Compression Stocking manufacturers use different materials to make the stockings and the thickness and strength of stockings may vary, Pelican Manufacturing P/L cannot guarantee the stocking will not be damaged by the plastic lugs inside the clips.

Freight Warning: Depending on your area, the freight charge for one pack of these items may be around the same price as the item itself. If this is a concern, please select the 'contact us with costs before processing order' selection during the checkout procedure.
