These IOMI FootNurse Oedema Extra Wide Cotton Socks in Black are designed for adults experiencing fluid retention and swelling in the legs and feet. Their key benefit is providing gentle, non-restrictive comfort that conforms to leg contours, a potential caveat is that while they offer significant stretch, extreme swelling might still require medical-grade compression. Made from a cotton-rich material with a loose knit weave, they expand up to 30 inches (76 cm) and feature flat hand-linked toes to prevent irritation. They are ideal for managing conditions like oedema and lymphoedema.

Oedema is fluid retention that causes swelling, often in the legs and feet. These socks are designed with a loose, stretchy knit to accommodate swollen limbs gently, without causing pressure or constriction, helping to manage the discomfort associated with oedema.
Yes, the socks are specifically mentioned as being helpful for lymphoedema, which is chronic swelling caused by issues with the lymphatic system. Their extra wide and gentle fit can provide comfort for swollen legs and feet.
The socks can expand to a maximum leg circumference of 30 inches (76 cm) due to their loose knit weave.
Yes, they are made from a soft, cotton-rich material and are designed for comfort, making them suitable for everyday wear, especially for individuals experiencing leg swelling.
This refers to the construction of the toe seam. It is sewn by hand to lie flat against the skin, minimizing rubbing and irritation that can occur with thicker, machine-sewn seams, thus helping to prevent blisters.
These socks are designed for comfort and to accommodate swelling without constriction. They are not graded compression socks and do not provide a specific mmHg pressure rating. For medical compression therapy, consult a healthcare professional.
They are machine washable at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning to maintain their material and elasticity. It's recommended to wash dark colours separately.
Ensure you are pulling them on gently and allowing the loose knit to expand naturally. If swelling is extreme, consult a healthcare professional regarding appropriate compression levels.
Although designed with flat seams, ensure no debris is trapped in the weave. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare provider.
Follow washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid high temperatures and harsh detergents, as these can degrade the fabric's elasticity.
Setup: These socks require no special setup; simply put them on like regular socks.
Compatibility: Suitable for adults experiencing leg and foot swelling. They are compatible with daily wear and can be worn with most types of footwear, provided the footwear can accommodate the extra width when stretched. They are not intended for medical compression therapy that requires a specific mmHg rating.
