SPECIAL OFFER gutter style compression stocking aid

Product Details

The Gutter Style Compression Stocking Aid is designed to make applying compression or support hosiery easier, faster, and more comfortable. Ideal for individuals with limited flexibility, mobility issues, or reduced hand strength, it provides a simple and effective way to put on Class 1 and Class 2 compression stockings without strain.

The device features a smooth, contoured shell that guides the stocking evenly over the foot and leg. The stocking is first “loaded” onto the shell, and as the foot is inserted, grooves along the surface grip the fabric to prevent it slipping. The attached pull cords are then used to draw the stocking steadily up the leg, helping ensure even distribution and a correct fit every time.

Lightweight yet durable, the Gutter Style Compression Stocking Aid reduces the effort required to don tight-fitting hosiery and helps users maintain their independence with ease and confidence.

  • Reduces bending and strain for users with limited mobility
