Full details

These IOMI FootNurse Oedema Extra Wide Cotton Socks in Blue (UK 12-14) are designed for adults experiencing fluid retention and swelling in the legs and feet. Their key benefit is providing gentle, non-restrictive support that conforms to leg contours, accommodating up to a 30-inch circumference.

FAQs

What is oedema and how can these socks help?

Oedema is the medical term for fluid retention, causing swelling. These socks are designed with extra width and a gentle, non-restrictive knit to accommodate and support swollen legs and feet, helping to reduce discomfort caused by fluid buildup.

Can these socks be used for lymphoedema?

Yes, they are specifically designed to assist with conditions like lymphoedema (chronic swelling due to lymphatic system issues) and other size-related leg conditions by providing a comfortable, non-constricting fit.

What is the maximum leg circumference these socks can accommodate?

These socks can expand to a maximum leg circumference of 30 inches (76 cm) due to their loose knit weave.

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, they are made from a soft, cotton-rich material and feature flat seams, making them comfortable for daily wear.

What shoe size do the UK 12-14 fit?

These socks are designed for adults and fit UK shoe sizes 12-14.

How should I care for my IOMI FootNurse socks?

They are machine washable at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean.

Are these socks a medical treatment?

While designed to help manage symptoms of oedema and related conditions, these socks are not a medical device and should not replace professional medical advice or treatment.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight despite being extra wide.

Ensure the socks are fully stretched out and correctly positioned on the leg. If swelling is severe, consult a healthcare professional about garment fit.

Seams are noticeable or causing irritation.

Verify that the hand-linked toe seam is positioned correctly and not twisted. Gently adjust the sock's position.

Material feels rough after washing.

Check care label to ensure correct washing and drying temperatures were used. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
