I"m looking for an open ended compression sock material which I can cut to lenght and make my own sock.?


Question:
This sock was used as an anti endemic on my leg post total hip replacement. It was really easy to put on and take off, much easier than a premade compression sock. The roll of material was long and shaped like a tube, and the therapist just cut it and taped the end and instant sock. The material was "peach' colored

Answers:
What you are describing is called Tubigrip (brand name). It comes in different sizes depending on the area which you would be treating, wrist vs. ankle vs. thigh. Your best bet to get this material would be to call the therapy place where you got it previously and ask if they will sell you another piece (at our clininic it gets charged by the inch or foot depending on length). Another option would be to go to, or call, a health equipment store and see if they carry the Tubigrip and can sell it to you or if you can order a box from them. Good luck.
