Fit, use, and safety guidance

  • Choose pressure by your need and any clinician guidance, not brand alone.
  • Put socks on early when legs are least swollen.
  • Make sure they lie smooth without rolling or cutting in.

Health and safety note: This Medibrace guide is general product-selection information only. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, prescribe, or replace advice from a licensed clinician.

When to check with a clinician first

See a qualified healthcare provider for severe pain, sudden swelling, numbness, deformity, inability to bear weight, signs of infection, or symptoms that are new, worsening, or do not improve. A brace supports comfort and function; it does not replace assessment.

FAQ

What mmHg compression socks should I get?

Many people choose graduated 20-30 mmHg for swelling, travel, and standing. Lighter 15-20 mmHg suits mild everyday use. Follow any specific range your clinician recommended.

Knee-high or thigh-high compression?

Knee-high covers the lower leg and suits most needs; choose thigh-high or pantyhose when coverage needs to extend above the knee.
