Abstract: The means for putting on therapeutic elastic stockings consists of a sock of smooth material to cover the foot, the sock being provided with a lining of smooth and supple material. The lining has been partly attached to the sock, partly set free from it, the free part at the end being closed and having such a length that it can be taken out as far as outside the sock and can be turned in up to the toe of the sock, a situation that takes place when the sock is positioned round the foot of the user. Besides the lining is characterized by the fact that it is attached to the sock where the foot steps in and that the length of the free part of the lining is substantially equal to the length of the sock.
