Will this devise work for Mediven 30-40 compression, open toe, knee highs? Thank you.

Sorry, I have no experience with that particular stocking. It doesn't work well with my 30-40 closed toe stockings.

I can't tell you for certain. It depends on a number of things. I suggest going to a medical supply store with the stockings and try it out in person, or if you order it, make sure that it can be returned if it doesn't work for you. It just was not helpful with my mother's issues. I tried to explain that it might work for some people, but it was not helpful in our case. Basically, you roll the stocking down the form and put your foot in, then pull up the coated wire device. I think it should work as well for open toe, but it didn't work for us regardless, so you will have to see if it's right for you. If lower legs are large it may be too tight. Maybe there's a larger size, but we only saw and tried this one. Good luck. It might help some people, but not us.

I'm 5'10 and the go over the calve, most of the firm compression is around the ankles. the compress to the knee is light tomedium. the are heavy and warm for winter, too warm for summer. cushioning is good and make my leg feel great when I'm on my feet for a few hours. they are worth the money. I'm not sure if a larger foot size would make the shaft taller too. I have for size 12 .

Yes they are knee high. I am 5ft 3 1/2 in tall. I really didn't like the compression. I work 12 hour shifts in a icu and i just didn't feel the compression was that good.

Rec'd open toe by accident, didn't make them send me what I actually wanted. Would much rather have closed toe since open toe is for observation of swelling etc and it bunches up in your shoe. Socks really helped tho.

I believe there are other stocking aides out there that would work better for thigh high. If the thigh high are compression stockings, then I know it doesn't work.

The answer to your question regarding what size to order is: I use the size chart on the Jobst website. http://www.compressionstockings.com/jobst-for-men-2030-mmhg-closed-toe-knee-high-ribbed-compression-socks-p-32.htmlI'm not sure how to answer your second question. What does your doctor recommend?

I use mine for cross-fit style work outs at the fire station to support my knees that suffered moto-cross abuse in the past. I think they would work, but, they advise to not leave them on for long/extended periods. Lots of stair climbs, squats, lunges, sprints, and mobility. Does that help any?

If you have clots, these compressions would be too tight for you. I do not recommend purchasing, rather to find stockings that are only knee high. You can find those at any surgical supply store.

Absolutely YES! As I wrote in my original review, I was dependent on others to put on my socks until I purchased this devise. I am now a grown up again. It works for all lengths of hoisery.

I don't recommend it. it is not elastic enough to provide good compression therapy. I returned this item. Mueller ankle brace (which I bought at Wal-Mart) is a lot better, less bulky, a lot more comfortable.

Well, I can't be sure, but I think it would to the job. One adjustment on these stretchers spreads the toe area, and that should stretch your open toe shoes, too.

not sure, i bought them for my aunt; she has blood flow issues that when standing prolong periods, has pain issue. I do suggest buying a size or 2 higher (in your case, x large or larger), she complained it being too tight. Because these are meant for lower parts, I doubt it would work for thigh.

My wife says maybe. You have to put the sock on over the plastic thing and she is not sure whether a compression sock may be too tight to do that or too long in length, but it might work. If it doesn't work you can always send it back if you buy it from Amazon - doesn't cost that much. It certainly helped my wife getting her regular socks on for the first month or two after she broke her leg. You can't take socks off with this thing.

It works for my toes. I wear size 7 1/2 shoes and medium width. Any larger and they wont fit. Hope this helps.

I would also say yes as they are very hard to get on. You may find some compression socks with a softer material that would be much easier for you.

My personal opinion would be "no." It is a fairly light weight, compression sock. A little extra support on top than some. But basically...holds sides in. I have used many...before, and after major surgery. I work on my feet for twelve hours a day, in steel toed work boots. I use compression socks to keep my foot support...even just a little. I would doubt it would support something enough...as serious as drop foot. Hope this helps.
