Compression stockings are largely resistant to fats and oils, but should not come into contact with ointments. Stockings with silicone-coated grip tops should generally not come into contact with solvents, ointments, re-greasing washing lotions, and body creams. Otherwise, the adhesive strength of the grip tops could be permanently impaired (leg hair and dry skin can also limit the function of the grip tops). We recommend using compression-compatible and compression-tested skin care products (e.g. Callusan).
