Classic Medical - Catherine Open Toe PLUS - 25/32 mmHg

Solidea Catherine Open-Toe Plus Thigh-Highs 25–32 mmHg

This garment is a special order and may take up to 3 weeks to ship.

The Solidea Catherine Open-Toe Plus Thigh-Highs combine firm medical graduated compression with a fit specifically designed for fuller or swollen lower limbs. The Plus version provides additional room through the leg and thigh for people whose measurements fall outside the standard Catherine size chart, while maintaining the same 25–32 mmHg graduated compression.

Designed for the management of venous and lymphatic conditions, Catherine Plus may be appropriate for people with lymphedema, lipedema, venous insufficiency, edema, varicose veins, and other conditions that can cause increased leg circumference when this level of compression has been recommended.

The open-toe design leaves the toes unrestricted and provides a cooler, more accommodating fit around the foot. A soft, silicone-free upper band makes Catherine an excellent alternative for people who cannot tolerate silicone stay-up bands. Because the upper band does not contain silicone, Catherine is designed to be secured with a garter belt.

What You’ll Feel

Firm graduated compression supports the leg from the ankle upward, helping provide containment for swelling while supporting venous and lymphatic return. The lightweight, smooth-knit fabric feels soft against the skin, while the Plus construction provides additional room through the leg and thigh without sacrificing therapeutic compression.

The open toe provides additional freedom and breathability around the toes and may also be helpful for people with sensitive toes, forefoot concerns, or hallux valgus.

Compression Level

25–32 mmHg graduated compression applies the greatest pressure at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. This firm level of compression is commonly used for more significant venous and lymphatic conditions, including edema, venous insufficiency, reversible lymphedema, and lipedema, when recommended by a qualified healthcare provider.

Fit Note

Catherine Plus uses a separate size chart from the standard Catherine. It is designed for people who need additional circumference through the leg and thigh, including those experiencing swelling associated with venous or lymphatic conditions. Do not select the Plus version based on your usual clothing size. Use your ankle and leg measurements and follow the Catherine Plus size chart carefully.

Catherine does not have a silicone stay-up band and will not remain securely in place on its own. It is designed to be worn with a garter belt. For medical conditions such as lymphedema, lipedema, or significant venous disease, consult a qualified healthcare provider when selecting the appropriate compression level.
