Description
The Maddak Heel Guide Compression Stocking Aid loads compression hose over a cone so the stocking pulls on without bending or straining. For people prescribed 20 to 50 mmHg hose who cannot reach their feet comfortably, the tall handles bring the job up to chair height.
- Heel Pocket Alignment – the cone centers the heel so the stocking seats correctly on the foot.
- 17 in Handles – tall handles keep the pull at chair height, with no bending to the floor.
- Three Grip Levels – grip settings match hose from 20 to 50 mmHg.
- Wide Calf Capacity – the frame accommodates calves up to 21 in around.
Compression Hose On Without the Floor-Level Struggle
Compression stockings only work when worn daily, and the hardest part of the therapy is getting the tight hose over the heel. This aid drapes the stocking over its cone with the heel pocket facing the user, so alignment is set before the foot ever enters. Seated, the user places the toes into the opening and works the hose down the column with the 17 in handles.
Three grip levels match the hose strength, and the frame is tested with 30 to 40 mmHg hose, the range most often prescribed. The epoxy-coated steel frame flexes to load and disassembles when the aid needs to travel or store flat.

Why the Heel Guide Keeps Therapy on Schedule
Missed days undo compression therapy, and donning difficulty is the main reason days get missed. An aid that aligns the heel and raises the pull to chair height removes the two failure points. The result is hose worn as prescribed, applied by the user alone.
- Daily Wear Stays Daily – easier donning removes the main reason prescribed hose gets skipped.
- Correct Heel Placement – the cone sets the heel pocket before the foot enters, so the hose seats as designed.
- No Bending to the Floor – 17 in handles keep the whole job at chair height.
- Handles Strong Hose – grip levels and frame testing cover the commonly prescribed 30 to 40 mmHg range.
