The Certified Fitters at MetroMedicalOnline.com prefer the Sigvaris support hose donning gloves to all other brands of gloves. The Sigvaris gloves protect support garments from jewelry and fingernails and hosiery from running and tearing when pulling them on. The Sigvaris rubber gloves have textured palm and finger pads to prevent slipping and improve the grip when putting on support stockings. The gloves are especially helpful to those who have difficulty pulling on their stockings. Donning gloves are recommended to further assist with donning and to protect your garments from snagging or jewelry.
Helpful Hints:
- Compression garments are easier to put on when you first get out of bed, before swelling occurs.
- Remove rings and jewelry that could damage your garment
- Use gloves (rubber or vinyl) to help position the garment on your leg
- Make sure your skin is dry before putting on your hosiery
- Avoid rolling or bunching the fabric as this will create too much pressure in specific areas
- Apply moisturizer to your legs (or arm) in the evening - not just before putting on your garment
