Why Choose Sigvaris Textile Donning Gloves

Donning gloves are the lowest-cost intervention that improves compression therapy outcomes across the widest patient population. At 20–30 or 30–40 mmHg, compression stockings require sustained grip force during application — force that overworks bare skin, catches on fingernails, and generates the micro-tears and runs that shorten expensive garment life. The textured latex grip coating on Sigvaris Textile Gloves distributes that force evenly across the palm and fingers, allowing users to spread and position the stocking smoothly along the leg without pinching, snagging, or overstretching. For users with arthritis, reduced grip strength, or sensitive hands, gloves meaningfully reduce the hand fatigue and pain of daily donning. For caregivers, the improved grip control reduces the effort required for assisted application and reduces the risk of accidental garment damage. For sheer and delicate compression stockings specifically, bare fingers are the most common cause of premature failure — gloves extend garment life from months to significantly longer. At approximately $9–12, these are also the most cost-effective accessory in the compression category. Sold as one pair, available in XS through XL.

Usage & Care

Put on gloves before handling compression garments. Use the latex grip surface to spread and guide the stocking evenly from the foot upward — the gloves allow smooth, controlled movement without bunching. Avoid sharp objects or jewellery that could puncture the latex coating. Hand wash the gloves in cool water with mild soap; air dry fully before reuse. Inspect the latex coating regularly for wear or peeling that could reduce grip performance. Replace when grip or fabric integrity diminishes. Gloves are compatible with all Sigvaris compression formats.
