Offering a color choice for their garment can support your patients’ feeling of ownership of their therapy and improve their willingness to stick with it. That’s why we’ve reworked our range of neutral colors for JOBST Elvarex and JOBST Elvarex Plus, including three beautiful new shades. Now you can easily offer a wider range of neutral shades to encourage your patients to wear their compression day after day.
To positively influence compliance through offering your patients more choice is our common goal. To pick a color might not change the world – but it makes a garment one they have chosen. And it might change their attitude towards their therapy and encourage them to wear their compression consistently. It’s a small choice for them, but it can be a big step towards therapy compliance.
“My legs feel less tired in the evening. (…) With stockings on, I feel more confident about my legs, as if they have a better shape and it chafes less.”
“I don't have a problem with it unless it's really hot. Those are the moments when I realize (…) that I really need compression. But when the weather is normal, the first thing I do in the morning is getting on my stockings, I can't live without it.”
“It is very important. It would be nice if you could choose from several colors you can wear under your dress.”
*This is Renate's story and not typical of all people with lymphedema. Always seek advice from a Healthcare Professional if you experience any symptoms.
Beige, Caramel, and Bronze: Three new and improved shades now complement Hazelnut, Dark Brown and Black to offer a greater selection of neutral shades.
