Who Can Benefit from the JOBST UltraSheer Compression Stockings?

If you choose the JOBST Ultrasheer stockings, no one will even realise you're wearing compression garments. They have a soft, silky feel and are ultra-sheer, perfect for pairing with formal outfits or for achieving a natural, nude look.

What Conditions Are the JOBST UltraSheer Compression Stockings Suitable For?

The JOBST UltraSheer Compression Stockings have a Class 2 compression class, and can therefore be used to treat a range of mild to moderate venous and lymphatic conditions. These indications are listed below.

Indications

The JOBST UltraSheer Compression Stockings are suitable for the following applications and conditions:

• Chronic leg pain or fatigue
• Varicose veins
• Swelling caused by mild oedema
• Alongside certain surgical procedures (e.g. sclerotherapy)
• To aid in the treatment of orthostatic or postural hypotension

Why Should You Choose the JOBST UltraSheer Compression Stockings?

• Elegant super sheer compression stockings
• Great for professional and formal wear
• Highly breathable construction prevents overheating and perspiration
• Satin touch is gentle against the skin and improves ease of application and removal
• Circular knit of the stockings adds durability and comfort
• Sheer stockings can even skin-tone and minimise the look of blemishes

How Do the JOBST Compression Stockings Work?

Despite their delicate look and feel, the JOBST UltraSheer Compression Stockings are as effective as any at relieving venous and lymphatic conditions. By applying graduated compression to your legs starting at your ankles, they can stimulate a normal flow of blood and other fluids, helping to improve circulation and reduce swelling.

What Colour Are These Stockings?

These stockings are supplied in a sheer black colour. This range also includes a number of flesh-toned colours including bronze and caramel.

Is It Easy to Put the JOBST UltraSheer Stockings On?

Compression stockings can be difficult to put on as they are so close-fitting. However, due to the silky, satin texture of these stockings, you'll be able to pull them on and off with ease.

Are the JOBST UltraSheer Compression Stockings Comfortable?

The satin yarns of these compression stockings offer comfort and breathability, so you'll be able to wear them all day long. They are incredibly soft against the skin, and can help prevent the development of odour and perspiration while they alleviate your symptoms.

Which Level of Compression Do I Need?

These stockings have a compression level of RAL Class 2, meaning they apply 23 - 32mmHg of gradient pressure to your legs. This is considered a moderate level of compression, and the level most often prescribed by doctors. It can treat a range of mild to moderate conditions including varicose veins, mild oedema and severe fatigue.
