How to put on compression socks using 2 options. One will demonstrate a common piece of medical equipment and the other is an option for those without access to the medical equipment.
Both of these strategies will improve the ease of applying compression socks to yourself or if you are applying compression socks to some one else as a caregiver.

I used the shopping bag trick for footie socks! I am 4 weeks past hip surgery so could raise my leg enough. Game changer for sure!! Thank you.

I was taught using playtex gloves, (the kind for washing dishes) is a great help putting on compression stockings. Along with these aids should work,really slick. The bag aid also,really looks great

I just bought my first pair of compression socks (poor leg circulation) and I had a HECK of a time putting them on the first time. Credit to my wife for thinking about the possibility of a RU-vid video instruction for this and credit to you for showing me a couple of great methods for making this chore a little easier! I will be trying it tomorrow morning. Thank you so much!

I have not had to use compression socks on a patient in many years.. and then this morning happened... 10 minutes and lots of sweat later, I finally got those suckers on the patient. In fun, he was heckling me the whole time. Now, equipped with this wonderful knowledge you have imparted to me, let's see what he has to say tomorrow. 😆😆

Thank you for all of your helpful videos. I have a question about how to take off the compression socks. I’m going have a hip replacement in 3 weeks. I have not been able to Put on or take off my light compression socks 🧦 for months. I did try several different sock helpers but none worked with my knee length socks. I am going to get the one you Demo’d but would love to know how to get them off when I am not able to cross my leg? Thanks. 😻

@bondjane007

I have very tight compression stockings & can't bend at all since I had total hip surgery. I do not have that thing U used to put on compression stockings.I also do not have credit cards so I can't buy 1 of those items. So what else can I do to put on very tight compression stockings. Very very tough to get on even with 2 nurses aids trying to put them on. How can I after total hip surgery do this all alone without that contraption U have to do the job? I doubt it would even work for the compression stocking I have. They R so damn tight. No one could get them on without tons of effort & time.

Thanks for this video! Very helpful. But my compression socks are a bit too long and would require me folding the tops of each down about 1-2” in order to keep them below the knees. Since I have just been advised to wear these due to varicose veins I’m thinking this isn’t isn’t a good idea because now the pressure at the top is much more than it should be. What is your opinion or suggestion?
@EquipMeOT
@EquipMeOT 2 года назад
Sounds like these socks are not the right fit. They should not come over the knee unless they are designed to be thigh high stockings and they would go much higher than 1-2” above the knee. If these are over the counter, you might need to be fitted by a specialist or take a look at the Jobst sticking website because they have good sizing guides for DIY fitting.

This is fine as long as you can reach your feet. If you can’t reach your feet there’s still no sock aid that’s really useful. As for getting the sock off, if you haven’t got someone to help you, forget it.

Great information video and I have a little advise about the quality of the video, the right side of the video is brighter and you are in a dark area, it's better to sit away from a bright source like the outside sliding doors and since you are in darkness and wearing a black shirt and showing a black sock on the tool it is very difficult to see how you do it...thank you.

Having people show firm compression socks instead of the easier light compression socks would be more informative... realistically show how to overcome getting the socks past the heels and ankles... or at least show that everyone has trouble with this procedure...thanks
