ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic stocking comprising, a first circumferential segment for placement on the leg below the knee, with the first segment extending from the ankle to a point slightly below the knee. The first segment exerts a compressive pressure on the wearer's leg gradually decreasing from the ankle to said point below the knee. The stocking has a second circumferential segment for placement on the leg above the knee, with the second segment extending from a point slightly above the knee to the upper thigh. The method of placement of a therapeutic stocking on a wearer's leg includes the steps of measuring the circumference of the wearer's leg at two locations, placing an elastic fabric panel having overlapping side edges about the wearer's leg, the upper and lower ends of the panel having indicia representing a number of possible selected circumferential measurements of a wearer's leg, and securing the side edges of the panel together with the side edges overlapped to match the two previously determined circumferential measurements of the wearer's leg. The second segment exerts a compressive pressure on the wearer's leg gradually decreasing from said point above the knee to the upper thigh.
