Different compression levels are intended for different needs. The following indications are examples from the supplied product information, not a diagnosis or a substitute for clinical assessment.

15–20 mmHg Compression

• Slight varicosities.
• Slight leg swelling.
• Tired, aching legs.

Consult your healthcare professional to confirm whether this compression level is appropriate for you.

20–30 mmHg Compression

• Moderate to severe varicose veins.

This higher compression level may require professional assessment and fitting. Do not select it solely because your symptoms appear more severe.

Sizing & Measurement Guide

Correct sizing is essential for comfort and appropriate compression. Take your measurements first thing in the morning, before getting up and moving around, where possible, to reduce the effect of swelling caused by daily activity.

Measure your ankle circumference at the narrowest point above the ankle bone, your calf circumference at its widest point, and any additional measurement required by the specific product's sizing chart.

Important Sizing Considerations

• Do not assume your JOBST size is the same as your size in another brand.
• Use the sizing chart for the exact Relief or UltraSheer product you are purchasing.
• Confirm that the chart corresponds to the selected compression level and stocking length.
• Follow the manufacturer's guidance if your measurements fall between sizes.
• Contact our support team if you need help interpreting the chart before ordering.

Australian Medical Device & Private Health Insurance Information

TGA Regulatory Information

Before describing a specific JOBST product as a TGA Class 1 Medical Device, verify its current Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) inclusion, sponsor details and applicable classification. The regulatory status should be confirmed for the exact product rather than assumed for the entire brand.

Private Health Insurance Extras Rebates

Some Australian private health insurance extras policies may cover eligible compression garments. Eligibility, benefit limits and documentation requirements depend on the insurer, policy and exact product.

Contact your health fund before purchasing to confirm whether your selected JOBST compression stockings qualify and whether an invoice, referral or claim form is required. TGA inclusion alone does not guarantee rebate eligibility.
