ABSTRACT:
A rigid, specially molded and elliptical or egg-shaped ring is used to facilitate the donning of surgical stockings. An egg-shaped or elliptical ring of a slightly larger diameter than that of the calf size, can be simply inserted, tapered end first, and positioned laterally in the stocking in order to enlarge the ankle area, thereby allowing the foot to be easily inserted. The ring is used to laterally position the stocking, and the toe of the stocking is pulled through the ring. The stocking may then be drawn upon the leg by holding the sides of the ring, and pulling the stocking up while simultaneously extending the leg in a downward position. Subsequently, the ends of the stocking are pulled over the ring which is automatically released from the stocking and easily removed. Physical strain usually experienced after surgery or in other medical conditions is reduced.
