Category 4: inelastic adjustable compression garments: These garments provide an effective alternative for patients who are able to self manage their care, those with rebound oedema when changed to stockings and for those with fragile skin or dexterity problems.
Dressings can be applied below these garments offering an effective alternative to bandaging (Damstra & Partsch, 2015). They are useful in ensuring consistency of sub-garment pressure in settings where several carers may be involved in the application of compression.
Despite their relatively high initial cost there is evidence that they can be a cost effective alternative to bandaging when nursing time and the cost of bandages is taken into consideration (Williams, 2016). They are supplied with a liner stocking.

Category 5: Leg Ulcer Hosiery Kits: Although compression bandages are the recommended first line treatment for venous leg ulcers, hosiery kits provide a useful alternative in patients who prefer to self manage their care. They are recommended for the management of venous ulcers after oedema reduction and for helping to prevent the recurrence of such ulcers for people who may otherwise have difficulty in donning garments as they comprise two components which together provide a nominal compression of 40mmHg at the ankle with a decreasing gradient from distal to proximal. Separate liner packs are available.
