The Jobst Arion Easy Slide Donning Aid is a smooth, friction-reducing sleeve designed to help open-toe compression stockings slide over the foot and ankle. It is especially helpful for firm compression garments that are difficult to pull on.
After the stocking is in place, the Easy Slide aid is removed through the open toe, leaving the stocking positioned correctly.
Who Is This For?
This donning aid is ideal for anyone who wears open-toe compression stockings and struggles with pulling the garment over the heel and ankle. It is useful for people with arthritis, limited grip strength, or higher-mmHg stockings.
