Compression Series – Jobst

Jobst is a well-known company that has provided compression for lymphedema for years (as well as other conditions such as diabetes, pregnancy & wound care). They also make & sell orthopedic products, donning & doffing aids & bandages. Originally founded in Ohio by Conrad Jobst (from Germany) in 1950, they were acquired by a company called Beiersdorf AG from Germany in 1990 & were ultimately merged with other companies & are now known as BSN-JOBST. Their global headquarters is in Germany & their United States base is in North Carolina.

Specific to lymphedema, they sell garments that fall into various categories of flat or circular-knit & custom or ready-made as indicated below. The Custom Seamed* can be sewn as a glove, mask, vest or body suit as well as sewn as the more typical sleeves & lower leg styles.  Custom is an area where Jobst shines as they offer numerous options for individual needs.  Most ready-made products come in several color options with open or closed-toe choices.

Flat-Knit                                                                                           Circular-Knit

Custom Seamed*                                                                           (Custom) Seamless Soft

In addition to lymphedema garments, they have a few helpful donning aids. These include gloves, a stocking donner & a stocking slip aid for open-toe stockings.  As noted above, they sell a host of other products for a range of other conditions including numerous compression garments for vascular disorders.
