JOBST Stocking Donner

How it works

JOBST's own listing calls this an easy-to-use device for people with limited dexterity or difficulty reaching their feet. You load the stocking onto the frame while seated, step your foot in, then pull the long handles upward to draw the stocking into place without bending down to your foot.

The long handles let you pull the stocking up while seated, without reaching down to your foot or ankle.

JOBST states this frame works with both closed-toe and open-toe compression hosiery.

Available in Regular or Large Calf, so choose based on the calf size of the stockings you're donning, not your shoe size.

These are reusable aids, not disposable garments: wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed, and let fabric parts air dry. They aren't a compression garment themselves, so there's no mmHg to wash out and no fixed replacement schedule - replace only if a part cracks, frays or stops gripping.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150; some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by JOBST under their warranty for material and manufacturing defects.

JOBST markets this frame specifically for people who find gripping and pulling a stocking on by hand difficult.

The frame does the reaching for you, which helps with back, hip or shoulder mobility limits.

A rigid frame is generally the easier option once a stocking's compression class makes it stiff to pull on by hand.

How does this donning aid work?

Load the stocking onto the frame, step in while seated, then pull the foam-padded handles upward to draw the stocking up the leg in one motion.

Will this work with my compression class?

JOBST lists it as compatible with closed and open toe styles; it doesn't change the mmHg, it just makes pulling a stiffer stocking on easier.

Which size do I need?

Match Regular or Large Calf to the calf size of the stockings you plan to use it with, not your own shoe size.

How do I clean it?

These are reusable aids, not disposable garments: wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed, and let fabric parts air dry. They aren't a compression garment themselves, so there's no mmHg to wash out and no fixed replacement schedule - replace only if a part cracks, frays or stops gripping.
