Description
JOBST UlcerCare in Beige: knee-high, 40 mmHg graduated compression, right zipper.
JOBST UlcerCare is a 2-in-1 compression system designed to effectively manage venous leg ulcers. It features a liner to hold the wound dressing in place and an outer stocking with or without a zipper to deliver a graduated compression with a nominal compression of 40 mmHg* at the ankle. The compression system helps to manage pain and discomfort caused by venous leg ulcers, while supporting an active lifestyle. The JOBST UlcerCare garments are less bulky than bandages, so they can be worn conveniently with common footcare.
The two components of the JOBST UlcerCare 2-in-1 system include:
- JOBST UlcerCare Liners – made from soft textiles that makes it easy to don the outer stocking. They help to hold wound dressings in place and can be worn for up to 24 hours a day. The breathable material and integrated heel and toe provide comfort.
- JOBST UlcerCare Outer Stocking—This stocking is worn over the JOBST UlcerCare Liner and is available in beige and black, with an optional zipper option. It is specially designed to facilitate the change of wound dressings and support self-management.
*The nominal compression for an average ankle size.
