Correct measurement matters more here than with most garments — a stocking that's too loose won't compress effectively, and one that's too tight can restrict circulation. Measure ankle and calf circumference (and thigh, for thigh-high styles) and match against the model's stated range rather than guessing by shoe or clothing size. The Carolon 622, for example, specifies an ankle of 8 to 8¾ inches and a calf of 12½ to 14½ inches.

Most CAP stockings feature an inspection toe — an opening at the toe that lets clinicians check skin color, temperature, and circulation without removing the garment. The color-coded orange toe and natural top on the thigh-high 622 also help staff quickly identify the correct pair. Nylon/spandex construction keeps them breathable and durable through repeated laundering in institutional settings.

These unisex, white garments suit hospitals, surgical centers, long-term care, and home recovery alike. Browse the full range of knee-high and thigh-high options above to match your patient's measurements and clinical needs.
