How often should legs be re-measured?
Changes in the patient’s condition or the effect of regular graduated compression may alter the diameter of their legs. Re-measuring with each repeat prescription – usually at three months – is therefore advisable. It is also wise to re-measure should the patient feel the fit of their stockings has changed significantly.
