Hi everyone,

Been interested in finding out more about this topic, as I have limited knowledge. In the past i have simply been referring patients that I feel could benefit from compression to their GP. However, I have been feeling more and more recently that this is a little counter productive, as lower extremity health is part of my job description.
So.. I was wondering if anyone had some good background on the prescription of stockings? Are there specific tests that might contraindicate compression (i.e. low toe pressures?)? rules for follow-up?
I have been looking at the Jobst stockings and they seem to come in 3 main sizes:
15-20 (medical prescription not required)
20-30
30-40
Thanks for any help,
Ben
