Will this work with compression stockings. I have a contraption I normally use but need something for travel

Sorry I don't know. But if you've got something that works purchase another of that one and use it for traveling. The devil you know concept. About the other answer, I found that if you put the open end of the hoisery to the very end of the opening and bunch the excess up by the top and pull even long(er) socks slip on with very little manual help.

I don't think it would as compression stockings are quite long. I find it works best for short socks as you have to bunch up a longer sock and then after you remove the sock aid you have to pull up the sock manually.

I can't say if it will solve your problem (although I've heard compression sleeves work for Shin Splints), but I doubt it will be too much compression (assuming you get the sizing right). I thought the compression was on the light side.

All compression sock will help reduce the likelihood of developing DVT when sitting for extended period on long haul flights. Airline cabins are compressed therefore so is everyone inside. Affects vary from person to person. Personally I just used these for the 1st time a week ago when traveling from Canada to the Middle East and noticed a big reduction in swelling of my ankles.

my son plays baseball and was complaning of aching - he really likes the feel of these and they have helped him. They do not keep their firmness as well as true medical compression stockings. These are tight on his legs and the cotton makes them comfortable. He loves them. They also wash well. I think they would work well for a flight to ease swelling, but are definately not as stiff and constrictive as real medical stockings. 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.

I regret buying the device, it doesn't work with my stretch socks. I haven't tried it with regular socks.

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.

This bandaging does lose its tightness after wear for a short period of time. I don't think its adequate for "compression"

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.

Not knowing what strength you have in your hands, or how much elasticity there is in compression socks, I don't know if you will have the hand strength to put compression socks onto the device. The socks I have are very roomy and easy to stretch. The device is pretty easy to use and I do love it. When my feet are damp it's less easy to use. After loading the sock onto the blue plastic piece, you put your foot into the hollowed part and pull with the strap. I hope this helps.

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 believe that I have the longer one, but I do not use it for traveling. For the calves or legs, the shorter one would probably be fine.

I haven't tried this brand on yet, but most compression stockings will relieve swollen feet/ankles (temporarily).I don't know about cramping.You may not need pantyhose; there are other options that stop at the knee and/or thigh.

This item is a fitted fit, so it is designed to be a next to skin fit. It should not be as tight as a compression fit.

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.

This is what I got from the Futuro Site ( http://www.futuro-usa.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Futuro/Global/Products/Product-Catalog/?N=4318+3294491858+3294529207&rt=rud ) The staff response says "Compression stockings can be worn every day and they can be worn all day. For best results, you should put them on first thing in the morning and take them off right before you go to bed. They should NOT be worn overnight while sleeping." Hope this helps.

I believe this would work very well for you--as long as you are not pressed against the side--and even then I don't think they could bight through....I believe this was originally designed for emergency situations with just such issues/potentials--to prevent the spread of disease in catastrophe situations. Best and safe travels!
