Carolon Multi-Layer Stocking System FAQs
How does the compression work?
The system consists of an Overstocking and an Understocking that work together to deliver precise, clinically appropriate compression. The Overstocking is available in 30-40mmHg (A6531) or 40-50mmHg (A6532). The Understocking can be worn alone during sleep, providing 15-20mmHg of compression while the patient is recumbent.
What are the benefits of using this system?
The system offers accurate compression, proven healing performance, and superior patient compliance. It allows patients to actively participate in their own compression therapy.
Is it easy to apply and remove?
Yes, the design of the Multi-Layer Stocking System makes application and removal easier, as compression is divided between two layers. The fabric of the Overstocking is specifically designed to slide comfortably over the Understocking.
When should I transition to the Multi-Layer Stocking System?
The Multi-Layer Stocking System should be used after the patient’s edema has been stabilized with the Carolon Wrap System.
Can the Understocking be used independently?
Yes, the Understocking can be worn alone during sleep to provide adequate compression.
