JETSOX are a medical quality travel sock and have been approved for use by the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia. They have been developed by two specialist anaesthetists from Adelaide, S.A. and can also be used during surgery and post operative situations. It is very important that the correct size of JetSox is worn to provide the correct pressure and ensure their effectiveness. Use a tape measure around the narrowest part of your leg (approx 50mm above the centre of the ankle bone) then record the size. Measure the other leg and chose the largest length when selecting correct JetSox size . If the measurement is between two sizes chose the larger JetSox size - Small, Medium, Large or Extra-large.
