Romantic and powerful: The new Lastofa Forte fashion colours

All Lastofa Forte compression stockings and tights will be available in the fashion colours hibiscus and agave from October 2024.The new colours have been created to make it easier for you to wear your compression garments on a daily basis and to integrate them into your everyday life as best as possible.

Hibiscus – a colour that warms the heart with its intense and vibrant radiance. It embodies the essence of courage, passion and enthusiasm and reminds us of the power, beauty and transience of nature. Agave is inspired by a natural wonder and represents remarkable inner strength. This plant thrives and prospers even in the harshest conditions: the perfect compression therapy companion.

The new colours (decorative stitching in silver optional):

• 
  Hibiskus
• 
  Agave

Decorative gemstones for your individual way.

From April onwards, you can order one-piece Lastofa Forte leg supplies with decorative gemstones. They are attached from the middle of your thigh-highs to the ankle all around. You can choose from the standard colours earth, ocean, slate and lava.

A combination with the decorative seams is also possible. In this way, you can customise your compression supply with merino wool even more.

The Lastofa Forte decorative seams

With the additional option of a decorative seam, our Lastofa Forte stockings turn into a fashion statement that masterfully plays with the seam as an accessory. At the same time, the seam bands look very classy because they don't interfere with the actual outfit, but rather enhance it with a small but fine detail.

Of course, the stockings are also available without a decorative seam – the seam then has the same colour as the stocking as usual.

Individual solutions for you

With prescribable accessories, the flat-knitted restoration can be adapted to the individual circumstances and preferences of the patient. This way the therapeutic effect can be enhanced and the comfort of wearing can be increased.

Accessories for strong support and optimum pressure distribution

Adhesive tapes, sewn-in pieces of adhesive tape or adhesive foils provide additional support and prevent the device from slipping. In addition, various additives can be incorporated to increase or distribute pressure, such as pads or lymph pads. The tissue directly underneath the lymph pad is gently massaged using knobs of different sizes when the patient is moving. Lining materials, which can be attached to the inside of the fitting, reduce friction and stress on the joint in bending areas such as the knee, elbow or ankle.

Special designs for a perfect anatomical fit

Just as our body demands, a flat-knitted fitting can be equipped with a lateral elevation, for example. The stocking adapts itself ideally to the anatomical conditions, especially on the thigh or upper arm. This ensures the correct medical pressure profile.

In the event of wrinkles or constrictions, special indents can also be knitted into the elbows, knees or ankle joints. This also improves joint functionality.

Please contact your Ofa specialist dealer for further information on special designs and accessories.

Customized solutions

Every single flat-knitted compression fitting is manufactured on the basis of individual measurements and requirements. This way we can guarantee that Lastofa Forte has an ideal fit by means of many different designs. Even the most difficult parts of the body can be fitted with custom-made solutions that provide an optimal fit.

Individual leg and arm fittings

A wide range of different arm and leg stockings and pantyhoses can be produced to meet the most diverse needs and wishes.

Our tip: For easier and more comfortable dressing, we recommend a two-part fitting - consisting of a stocking and a trouser part, which are placed on top of each other. If desired, individual parts of the leg or arm can also be fitted with compression segments - whether socks, calf pieces or cuffs for the thigh or upper arm. The individual compression pieces are also available as residual limb fittings.

Manual supplies

Gloves for Lastofa Forte can be made with open or closed fingers, without fingers and with or without thumb base. To facilitate putting them on in everyday life, the combination of an arm sock and a glove is recommended for arm fittings.

Foot fittings

For the comfort of your feet: Lastofa Forte can be manufactured with either an open or closed toe cap. Individual toe pieces are also available. Lastofa Forte toes are only provided in compression classes 1, 2 and 3.

Grip tops for every taste

Whether plain and unobtrusive or very elegant for ladies in lace design: Lastofa grip tops complete the stocking perfectly.

Why choose flat-knitted medical compression stockings?

Compared tocircular knitted medical compression stockings such as Memory, flat knitted stockings are ideal for treating edema, burns or scars. The pressure of flat knitted medical compression stockings works well below the skin. Due to the knitting technique they show a high material stability. They are therefore able to contain or at least maintain lymphedema. The built-in pressure curve directs the lymph fluid towards the centre of the body and into healthy lymph vessels.

Generally, the pressure is highest at the ankle. However, it is adjusted in the case of a flat-knitted fitting as soon as the foot is also affected by the edema. This prevents congestion or constriction. In order for flat-knitted compression stockings to work optimally, they are adjusted by trained specialists in the medical supply store.

Strong and yet very soft

Flat knitted stockings are characterized by a high operating pressure. This is particularly important for edema patients because it greatly stimulates the activity of the lymph vessels.

Lastofa Forte is always produced according to individual patient measurements and thus ensures an optimal fit even under difficult anatomical conditions. The unique yarn construction made of merino wool and microfibre is particularly skin-friendly. Extra flat seams prevent pressure points.

Merino wool - the natural high-tech fibre

Merino sheep live in areas with extreme weather conditions: heat during the day and low temperatures at night. Their fur protects them from these conditions. This is because the wool fibres have air cushions that serve as insulation.

Merino wool not only regulates the climate and is breathable, but is also resistant and particularly durable.

Why is merino wool not itchy? Because merino sheep have to compensate for large temperature changes, their merino wool fibres are finer - unlike ordinary wool fibres. Merino fibres are much thinner than human hair, but stronger. This makes Lastofa Forte particularly durable and strong and at the same time pleasantly soft.

All versions and extras of Lastofa Forte are available as made-to-measure products. Lastofa Forte is also available in standard sizes for the A-D knee stocking in compression classes 2 and 3 and for the colors cream and black.

Easy to put on

Little helpers in everyday life don't make putting on compression stockings and pants a daily struggle in the morning, but let you slip into your stocking and day without any problems. That's why we have developed many practical tools to make your everyday life easier and simplify the handling of your compression stockings.

Because your comfort is important to us

The correct way to handle compression stockings

• The product is suitable for immediate use. Our recommendation: Wash before the first use. Afterwards, wash daily by hand or in the gentle cycle of your machine, turned inside out.
• Wash the stockings separately with mild detergent without softeners (e.g.Ofa Clean special detergent) at a maximum temperature of 40° C and rinse thoroughly.
• The stockings can be spun gently, but please do not wring them out.
• Dry your compression stockings in the air or in the gentle cycle of your dryer, but do not place them on the radiator or in direct sunlight and do not iron them.
• To maintain the functionality of the stockings, please do not use chemical detergents, bleach, benzine or fabric softener
• Compression stockings are largely insensitive to fats and oils, but should not come into contact with ointments.
• Stockings with silicone-coated adhesive tapes should generally not come into contact with solvents, ointments, re-greasing washing lotions and body creams. Otherwise their adhesion may be permanently impaired.
• Store the stockings dry and protected from sun and heat, if possible in their original packaging.
