the overstocking on and off. The compression stocking system exerts a contact pressure of about
40 mmHg in the ankle area (average compression).
The set is available in two colour combinations – sand/white and black/sand.

However, the liner can also be used alone if only light compression (10-14 mmHg) is required. If
you are unable to don the compression stocking (overstocking) for physical reasons, a maximum of
2-3 understockings can be worn over each other to create the necessary pressure.
The refill pack (containing 3 liners) is available separately in either white or sand.
