I have a thin calf, (13.5") 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.

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.

I am plus size. My calf is 16 1/2". I wear a women's Medium. Socks are tight but not too tight. Had my doctor check them. They definitely keep the swelling away. If you live in a hot summer climate you might prefer the open toe stockings. I love these stockings. They work better than the brands hospitals use.

I would think this would work. It does snug around leg and ankle too. But always check with your doctor.

I believe it's a one size fits all. I am 6'2 with average size calfs and it fit great. The wrap around Velcro means it's very adjustable.

My podiatrist told me that the calf strap doesn't need to be tight...that it just exists to hold the unit on your foot

My calf measures 14"; I got the Large size. They fit VERY snuggly. The Medium would have been too small.As I noted in my review, I'm 5' 4"; the sleeves came down to the arch of my foot, which was OK. Actually felt good.

My calf is almost 13 at the largest point but it doesn't go down that far, knee is 14 and I got a small. It's tight..but it's supposed to be. They loosen up over time but not much.

I would measure the thickest part of your leg, in my case the mid-thigh, as the brace extends from mid-thigh to the mid-calf. It also includes plastic braces which may dig into fatty areas. I removed mine, but it rendered the brace too big. The brace is rather comfortable for a more muscular leg with less discrepancy between top and bottom widths.

I have to agree with everyone else. It's a one size fits most. I stand 5' 10" and it hangs to half way down my calf.

My thigh is 20" and my calf is 16". I can get the large on my leg but it is tight. You should probably get the XL size to be comfortable. If it is too big I'll trade you my large.

My knee measurement is 16 1/2 (across the knee cap) so this fits fine at that point but I found it too tight at the calf and the upper leg. Perhaps I have some swelling because of inflamation. I've found a more comfortable one at Walmarts, size L/XL which fits 16" to 20" and does not have the velcro tabs top and bottom. I found the tabs don't close flatly and catch on clothing.

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

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.

My lower legs are thin, but I have meatier legs above the knee. I got the adult short leg first and found it too tight on my leg above the knee. However I had no trouble getting it over my cast which went to my knee. I reordered and got the wide leg which worked out much better for my leg. Both offered a seal tight fit, so, for me, it came down to comfort. If your legs are thin, you can probably get by with the adult short leg.

Hi Marybeth; I know it goes around my top calf which is 18 inches and is very confortable. It would be confortable on a smaller leg and I think would be find on larger leg. I am very satified with my truform and have been wearing for several months now. I hand wash after every wearing and dry on a paded hanger, Hope this helps you. Patricia A Smith

Absolutely! Goes on even better because you need not stretch it as much to get it over the bandage. I love mine. Felt so good to shower after surgery and not have to worry about water in my wound.
