I have a thin calf, (13.5"&#157;) all the way around at the widest part. Will this fit my leg tight enough to keep the bandage from surgery dry? Thanks

Not likely to fit tight enough. There are other brands that fit tighter but cost more.

I had a steel cast on my leg and I used this between my leg and the cast. The widest part of my calf is 19 inches in circumference and my ankle is small. This worked fine. This stuff can stretch. Hope this helps.

I think it would just barely fit that diameter. My lower thigh is about 43cm in diameter and there is only about 8cm from where the velcro would meet the edge of the brace. Meaning, it would comfortably fit to about 50cm-52cm. If you try to make it fit, it would be too tight and impede venous flow. I would look for a larger brace if I were you.

No, it will too small in the calf area. I wear 8 and it did NOT FIT the calf. It was ok in width for the foot but very close for the foot length.

it's will be open on the end. We used it to help hold 4 x 4 bandages on to the leg by pulling it on like a sock. Diabetics have skin issues where tape causes skin breakdowns. I would order the smallest size for a toe.

I also had surgery and my foot was wrapped, but I had to wear an Aircast over it to immobilize the ankle. I included this in my review because, as many know, these types of temporary casts are very bulky. I thought it was informative to point out that the Curad protector actually fits over it. In your case, all you need to know is whether it keeps your foot dry. For me it did. Good luck with your recovery!

Karen, check out the mediven website. You have to measure yourself and then get the appropriate size. I have large calves and wasn't aware that these were even an option until I'd been wearing the regular ones for months and I decided to investigate. The wide calf option makes a huge difference when you measure properly. Good luck!

A compression of 15-20 medium would not be the same as a 20-50 large. Size depends on height from ankle to knee and diameter of calf and diameter of ankle. Compression is the tightness of the fabric and you should get what your doctor ordered.

Measure around the largest part of your calf,Regular is 13"-15"Large is 15"-16"If you get less than 13 go for small

It will fit your calf but not cover your ankle like it is seen in the advertisement. My husband is 6'3" and I had him try one on to see how it would fit him. It's even from top to bottom so no worries about it cutting off your circulation.

If your mid-calf size is greater than 12 inches circumference (swollen or not swollen) this device will not work for you. The idea behind this device is a good one, but the inventor failed to make the area wide enough where the sock is stretched and held just before inserting the foot and then pulling up the sock. The inventor needs to come out with I suppose three different sizes (small middle calf, medium and large). One size simply does not fit all. I hope this answers your question. If your mid-calf is less than 12 inches circumference you may find that this device really helps.

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.

I have a larger leg circumference so that affects the surface area accomdoated. The contact points for me are just a bit to the outside of the knee cap itself. If you are experiencing pain directly on the knee cap or below it (i.e. shin area) this would likely cause a dilemma for you, otherwise you would be alright I would think.If it is in the area that would create a dilemma, (lamentably I have had pain there too!) I have used a standard ice pack with an ace bandage.Best of luck

I would suggest a large because as you can see the brace goes half up the thigh and partially down the calf. Hope this helps.

As someone who also has skinny legs and ankles as well, I think it depends on where you are planning on wearing it. I usually wear it about partway between my ankle and knee (about 4 inches up from my ankle) and it fits great. I tried it on my ankle and it was a bit on the loose side. It should work when worn on the ankle especially if resting atop a boot.

I am a big guy. So don't laugh. It would have helped to have the circumference of your thigh in inches. so I did an experiment. My calf is 16 1nches in circumference. The groin wrap fit securely around my calf. I hope this helps.

I am the same size now and it worked just fine for me last week when I had vein work done. So yes it will. They are tough to get on- try rolling it and working it up your leg- not like traditional pull ons,
