What's your experience with applying compression?

According to a recent study, 60% of compression users struggle with applying compression due to pain, stiffness or reduced hand strength. Leading to abandoning treatment and potentially venous ulcer recurrence.

The DOFF N' DONNER CONE and DOFF N' DONNER ROLLY offer a unique solution supporting healthcare professionals by making application of below-knee and thigh-high garments quicker, easier, and safer.
With unique patented features, these devices:

- Reduce physical strain on clinicians and carers
- Lower workload demands in busy settings
- Support patient independence and daily adherence
- Simplify application for even high-compression garments

If you're looking for ways to improve outcomes while protecting your own wellbeing, this is one solution that continues to deliver.

Discomfort is one of the leading reasons people avoid compression therapy, and in warmer weather, it only gets worse.

That’s why COOLFLEX Standard – Calf is a game-changer. Designed with lightweight, breathable material, it helps regulate skin temperature and keeping the leg dry.

For healthcare professionals, this can improve wearer engagement and reduce skin-related complications.

For wearers, the breathable design helps keep legs cool and dry, enhancing comfort and making compression therapy more manageable over the summer months.

Compression that frees up clinical time, without compromising on care

The COOLFLEX Standard – Calf addresses this with its patented stainless steel hook-and-loop system, allowing for:

✅ Precise pressure adjustment
✅ Repeatable application by wearers or carers
✅ Increased confidence for clinicians prescribing inelastic compression

For healthcare professionals, this means better adherence, allowing nurses to reduce visits, freeing up time for complex cases and easing community caseload pressure.

For wearers, it means autonomy, comfort and (most importantly) the ability to self-care between visits.

A diagnosis of lipoedema, lymphoedema, or venous insufficiency often comes with more questions than answers. In this situation, it's common to feel lost, uncertain, or even overwhelmed.

What many don’t realise is that support groups exist specifically for these conditions that offer trusted advice, shared experiences and reassurance from people who truly understand.

✔️ Learn about practical self-care
✔️ Find emotional encouragement
✔️ Connect with others living with the same condition

Support can be a vital step in understanding what’s happening and what can help.

Today is International Self Care Day! For patients with lower-limb conditions like varicose eczema, cellulitis and chronic oedema, enabling self-management can transform outcomes.

Too often, traditional compression therapy creates barriers:
❌ Difficult to apply
❌ Painful on fragile skin
❌ Incompatible with regular skincare routines

A recent Wounds UK 2025 report, showed patients using wraps like COMPREFLEX Standard - Calf not only experience healing, they regained independence which improved confidence in managing their condition, while supporting healthcare professionals in reducing application time and visits.

How has your 'Legs Matter' Week gone?

Legs Matter is a fantastic initiative that raises awareness of lower limb conditions affecting so many people.

This year, we hosted a brilliant session on the Medical Online Hub with Dr. Garry Cooper, Rebecca Elwell and Matt Hazledine, where we discussed some of the challenges around giving voice to men with lower limb complications.

Meanwhile, the team has been busy attending formulary launches, playing games, visiting NHS teams and sparking essential conversations around lower limb health.

It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to be involved. But it doesn’t stop here. You can expect to hear and see more from us over the coming year as we continue to fight for a voice for those living with lower limb conditions, whether through interactive online sessions or by supporting you in your daily practice.

We’ll see you there.
