Medical stockings — some people love to wear them, some people hate them. I am going to tell you 7 things you should know about medical hosiery.
Number 1 – Medical stockings are graduated. That means they are firmest at the ankle and they are progressively less firm from the ankle upwards. Some of you may remember “Calippo Lollies”. Well if you squeeze the calippo at the bottom, up comes the ice lolly out of the packaging. However, if you squeeze the calippo hard around the middle it does not move. Medical stockings squeeze the ankle more than the calf, so encouraging the vein circulation up the leg.
Number 2 – Medical stockings are not the same as support stockings. Support stockings are not graduated. So although they may feel firm and supportive, they do not encourage the vein circulation back up the leg in the correct direction.
Number 3 – You should be properly measured for medical stockings. This usually means measuring the circumference of your ankle and the widest part of your calf as a minimum. To get the correct compression, you should be sure to get the correct size of sock or stocking.
Number 4 – Medical compression stockings are anti-DVT. So for example most people undergoing major surgery in hospital who are at risk of thrombosis should consider wearing medical socks.
Number 5 – Medical socks reduce the complications of DVT. Most specialists recommend wearing good quality medical grade compression socks for at least 2 years after a major DVT to reduce the risk complication such as phlebitis and leg ulcers..
Number 6 – Medical socks do not cure varicose veins or vein reflux, but wearing them does relieve the symptoms of ache, swelling and throbbing. If you have a venous ulcer, wearing strong medical grade compression stockings will accelerate the healing process.
Number 7 – Medical socks only work if you wear them. They are not effective if they are in the draw. So it is best to invest in a good quality pair of medical compression stockings that feel and look good. They should make your leg feel better and they should not have to be endured

The Little Giant Overhaul™ ladder system was designed by firefighters for firefighters. The Overhaul ladder extends to 17 feet but is small enough to carry into an elevator, up a flight of stairs, or around tight corners. The ladder is just 4 foot 7 inches tall when retracted.

The Overhaul has been engineered to combat all the unique challenges that firefighters have to face every day:

Ratchet™ Levelers – Working on unlevel ground due to slope or debris? Ratchet Levelers adjust in seconds to provide an even, level setup over an uneven surface or debris. Ratchet Levelers are specifically designed to be easy to operate while wearing heavy firefighting gloves and boots.
Roof & Rafter Hooks – The Overhaul Ladder is equipped with folding roof and rafter hooks that allow firefighters to hook the ladder to a rafter or truss to help prevent the ladder from “slipping out” from underneath while firefighters work during overhaul and other operations.
High-Visibility – Each rung on the Overhaul Ladder is equipped high-viz reflective labels and Little Giant’s exclusive Safety Insight™ photo-luminescent strips to help identify rung location in low light conditions. This durable material glows for up to 16-hours when charged, is integrated into the rung, and will not rub off like tape.
Dual Position Spike Feet – Adjustable non-slip rubber feet provide stability on wet or slippery surfaces and flip down spike feet provide stability on grass, carpet and soft surfaces.
Easy Transport – The Overhaul Ladder is equipped with heavy duty casters for quick, easy transport.
Easy Carrying – The Overhaul Ladder is designed to be extremely mobile and easy to move from place to place. It is equipped with a large, solid aluminum carrying handle that is easy to grip while wearing firefighter gloves.
Heat Sensing Technology – The Defender has special heat-sensing labels that indicate when the ladder has been exposed to too damaging temperatures and should be taken out of service.
