JOBST^® UlcerCare Liner

Compression garments come in different compression classes, ranges, or levels. This description differs between regions or countries. In Germany, for example, the so-called RAL-GZG standard is dividing compression garments into four different compression classes from mild to very strong compression or class I-IV. The exact pressure of each compression garment is usually specified in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and varies according to medical necessity.

It is not always useful to assign a specific compression class to a certain condition, therefore Healthcare Professionals will make individual decisions on the suitability of a certain compression level for each patient. This is usually based on the clinical condition itself, the patient’s tolerability for compression, additional conditions, and further individual needs. 

1. Gather the Compression Liner in both hands, so that the toes can easily reach the end of the liner.


2. Pull the Compression Liner onto the foot, aligning the heel of the Liner with the heel of the foot.


3. Gently pull the Compression Liner up the leg, taking special care to ease it over wound dressing.


4. Pull it upwards to the knee. Do not roll down or fold the top of the stocking.


5. Smooth any wrinkles and adjust the heel and toe of the Compression Liner for comfort.
