ABSTRACT:
A device that makes donning of stockings, in particular medical compression stockings, easier has a flexible sheet body that has a low friction inner side and a high friction outer side and is closed by snap fasteners. It can be rolled to a tubular shape having a larger diameter at one end. The sheet body is inserted into a stocking with the end of lower diameter first and is then pulled over the foot and leg, with the device reducing the friction forces that have to be exerted.
