Review on GILLYA Thigh High Ted Hose Compression Stockings for Women Men | Anti-Embolism, Knee Length | 15-20 mmHg Compression Stockings by Peter Green

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not as good as the Covidien brand

Underwent total knee replacement surgery. The hospital sent me home to Covidien Sz. M Reg. I'm 5ft 7in and 155lbs. The surgical knee was severely swollen due to the massive accumulation of fluid, so Sz. M was unbearably cramped. I ordered this brand and Covidien in the following size expecting to wear medium on a healthy leg. and a large one on the operated leg. (You really need 2 pairs so you can hand wash and air dry the ones you're not wearing). This brand came first. Too short! The hole in the sole of the foot was too big - the material didn't stay on the toes. The material itself is slightly thicker than Covidien. I look forward to this brand. I will probably return these. I don't understand why the hospital doesn't just give you 2 pairs! My doctor sent me to the Vein Clinic to buy another pair (insurance won't cover it). They wanted $40! I wonder if my surgeon will hit the back?

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
