Medical compression stocking may not be worn if the patient has the following conditions:

Advanced peripheral arterial occlusive disease (if one of these parameters is present: ABPI < 0.5, ankle arterial pressure < 60 mmHg, toe pressure < 30mmHg or TcPO2 < 20 mmHg on dorsum of foot). When non-elastic materials are implemented, the patient can still try out compression stocking if they have ankle arterial pressure between 50 and 60 mmHg and they are under close clinical supervision.

In the following instances, the therapeutic decision should be made by weighing up the benefits and risks and by selecting the most suitable compressive equipment:

Severe weeping dermatosis

Elastane, polyamide. Notes & tips: Silicone is an inert substance and therefore will not cause an allergic reaction. In some cases irritation may occur but this is caused by the skins properties - mainly the products used on the skin (skin care products), heat (perspiration) and hygiene or a combination of all 3 things.
Top tips to combat any irritation are:
Do not use emollients directly where the silicone topband is going to sit
Change the topband position throughout the day (only a slight move is necessary) - this allows any perspiration beneath the silicone to dry
Clean the topband with damp cloth (no soap) in order to remove any washing powder or fabric softener -the residue of these products can cause an allergic reaction
