Question
Will this also provide compression? I am recovering from a traumatic foot injury and have used a stockinette that is stretchy. I just need them to cover up the scars on my foot and provide a little compression when wearing sneakers, open shoes, etc. Please reply ASAP. Thanks!!

Answer
Unfortunately, we do not have any stockinettes that will also provide compression other than our Medical Compression Stockings & Hosiery.  There is a company that supplies a stockinette that is 92% cotton and 8% elastic that will provide the slight compression you may need.
