Donning and Doffing Aids for Medical Compression Hosiery
Embracing Comfort and Independence
Living with conditions like lymphoedema, leg ulcers, or lipoedema can be challenging, but with the right tools and techniques, managing these conditions can be much more comfortable and empowering. The use of tools such as compression hosiery, is very important for this.
These conditions often require the use of compression garments to improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, and reduce discomfort. However, donning these garments can become a task, especially for those with limited mobility or dexterity. This is where compression hosiery applicators, or donning and doffing aids, come in handy, ensuring that you can manage your compression hosiery independently and effectively.
Here at Patient Choice Direct, we recognise this need for a more user-friendly approach. We provide multiple types and styles of donning and doffing aids from leading brands, offering innovative compression hosiery applicators. These helpful devices streamline the donning and doffing process, making it simpler and more efficient for patients of all abilities.

Slip-on Aids
These are smooth, slippery sleeves that you first pull onto your arm or leg.
The compression garment then slides over the aid and your limb, reducing friction and making the process easier.
