EdemaWear Compression Stockinette

EdemaWear from Compression Dynamics takes a fundamentally different approach to managing edema and lymphedema. Instead of the firm, hard-to-apply gradient compression of traditional stockings, EdemaWear uses a channeled, open-weave nylon and spandex fabric that creates a gentle massaging action against the skin. As the patient moves, the raised channels stimulate lymphatic and venous return without the constricting pressure that many patients — especially those with fragile skin, neuropathy, or limited hand strength — simply cannot tolerate.

That distinction matters most for the people who struggle to don conventional garments. Because EdemaWear stretches easily and applies with far less effort, it's frequently chosen for elderly patients, those with arthritic hands, and caregivers dressing someone else. The stockinette can be worn on its own for lighter edema or layered under compression bandaging and wraps as part of a decongestive therapy protocol.

The line covers the leg from ankle to groin. The EdemaWear Stockinette comes in reusable Small (B600001) and Medium (B960001) sizes in a machine-washable nylon/spandex blend, while the 48-inch Large Stockinet (120L001) fits knee to groin on limbs up to a 46-inch (115 cm) circumference — a genuine option for significant swelling. For patients who prefer a stocking format, the Thigh High Compression Stockings in Large (B120L01) feature an open-toe design that keeps toes visible for circulation checks and accommodates a wider range of foot conditions.

Sizing is based on limb circumference rather than shoe size, so measure the widest part of the affected limb before ordering. The white, reusable construction holds up to repeated laundering, making these a practical daily-wear choice over the long term.
