Manufacturer Contact Information CINCINNATI, OH, 45209 US Review: As good as it gets ... - I've been wearing compression knee highs for several years due to CVI, so I'm sort of used to the process of getting them on and off. I've been using another donner since December 2014, and I have a routine for getting them on that works for me. But it's starting to show its age a bit -- it's still usable, but I wanted to see if I could find another one that might be a little sturdier. Saw this Truform donner, and decided to give it a try. It's about half the cost of my original donner, so I wasn't expecting it to be as sturdy as my old one. But I figured for the money, if it lasted more than a year, it was still a little ahead of the old one. I needn't have been concerned. This is MUCH sturdier than the old one. The wire that makes up the frame is larger, so that gives it a less "flimsy" feel. I got the larger size with the 5"-wide opening (the smaller size is 4" wide) -- my calves are about 19" -- and it's perfect. Bear in mind that if you wear smaller stockings, the 5" opening may be too large to get the socks onto the frame. So pay attention to size, and order the size you need. A quibble (seems to be common with every donner I've seen): There are minimal instructions provided with this. If you are new to using a donning device like this, be prepared for a "learning curve." It may take you a week or so of daily use to get comfortable with the whole process (loading the sock onto the device, then getting it onto your foot/leg). First things first: the socks aren't easy to load onto the device at first (you'll get used to it with more practice). This donner is easier than my old one, probably because the "wire" is large and the sock slips on easier. I load my socks based on the instructions, just to the point where the heel has cleared the opening. I put mine on sitting down (bad back/etc.), so once the sock is loaded, I just get my foot into the sock, lining up the heel, then put my foot on the ground and pull until the sock is about halfway up. Then, I just grab the top edges of the sock and finish easing it off the device, and up my leg, being careful to ease out any wrinkles on the way. Getting the heel placed correctly is CRITICAL -- miss that, and you'll have problems with pinching, etc. Honestly, without a donner like this, I wouldn't be able to get into my socks at all, and I HAVE to wear them every day or risk the consequences (really, not pleasant ... ). That I can get a donner for a reasonable cost that has high-quality materials and construction is a huge relief! Solid well-earned 5 stars. Review: Different Design from Regular Makes LARGE Donner Unusable--DO NOT BUY!!! - I should have read the review posted on January 18, 2018 that explained why the LARGE donner doesn't work. I have the regular donner. I can use it but thought the large donner would be more comfortable. I expected it to be made like the regular only in a larger size. Unfortunately, once I received the LARGE donner and placed it next to the regular it was easy to see why no one can make it work. The "legs" of the guide for the regular donner measure 4 1/2 inches at the top and 4 1/2 inches at the point that is 5 inches down from the top. So the "legs" are parallel to one another top to bottom. Once you stretch the stocking over the opening, it is easy to slide it down the donner "legs" and get the entire stocking in position for donning. The "legs" of the guide for the LARGE donner are not arranged this way. They measure 6 inches across the top but 7 1/2 inches at the point that is 6 inches down from the top. Instead of the legs on the LARGE donner being parallel, they are flared widely at the bottom. So although you can stretch the stocking 6 inches across the top with not much effort, as you slide the stocking down and try to get it into position, the flare is so extreme that the stocking just slides right back up to the top as soon as you remove your hands to try to continue putting the stocking on the donner. It will not stay in place because the flare is too severe. This is a design flaw. I was expected to pay for the return shipping. Although the item is not really heavy, it does require a large box making the return shipping likely to eat up any refund I expected to get for my purchase price. So I am stuck with a LARGE donner that by its very design is not able to be used as intended. Here are pictures showing both donners side by side so you can see how the flare is the issue. I have used some fabric to block parts of the donner so that the picture highlights the problem area. Hope this helps you to see how the unit is designed to NOT work as intended. DO NOT BUY THE LARGE DONNER. ## Features - Powder Vinyl Coated Steel - Made in USA - Regular size 4-inch width donning zone; Only fits Truform brand socks size: Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large - Stockings and sock sizing is for Truform brand compression garments; Sizing not compatible with other brands sizes - Simple step-in device for easy application of very tight compression hosiery during recovery - Stretches fabric over the foot and heel to assist users, caregivers, injured, diabetic, patients - Helper for mmHg Compression; Senior living limited mobility dressing aid; View size chart image ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FX7FBAY | | Best Sellers Rank | #66,922 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #25 in Daily Living Sock & Stocking Aids #3,384 in Sales & Deals | | Brand Name | Truform | | Closure Type | Pull-On | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 4,536 Reviews | | Fabric Type | Powder Vinyl Coated Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00048503075224 | | Hand Orientation | both | | Included Components | Stocking Donner | | Item Dimensions | 1.25 x 4.5 x 8.25 inches | | Item Type Name | daily-living-sock-and-stocking-aids | | Item Weight | 0.35 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Surgical Appliance Industries | | Manufacturer Contact Information | CINCINNATI, OH, 45209 US | | Medical Compression Garment Type | Medical Compression Stockings | | Model Name | Stocking Donner, Helps Apply Compression Socks | | Model Number | 0752/R | | Part Number | 0752/R | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Size | Regular Foot Zone | | UPC | 048503075224 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Truform products sold through approved retail channels are warranted to be free of materials and workmanship defects and warraned to be brand new.

Do you think this will work for her?** A: I'm going to try to answer each and every one of these questions in one statement. The people that have a large calf, I myself have a large left leg calf. In my case I have to use two different size compression stockings. 1st.you should check the size of your compression stockings to make sure they are proper size. If you as myself have two different sizes, you’ll have to get two different size compression stockings, one for the left and 1 for the right. when you put your stocking on the Donner, the toe part of the stocking, do not go all the way down, Just go a few inches, (a lot of this is trial and error, but don't give up) now the part of the stocking that is on the outside of the donner, bringing it up to the top as far as possible, without the socking going back inside of the Donner. When you put your foot into the stocking, on the Donna, just go up to ankle, then slip the stocking off the donner, then grab the rest the stocking letting it slip out of your fingers as you pull it up. When it comes to compression stockings that comes all the way up to the tight, that's going to take a little more practice. Sometimes if you have a real hard time pulling it up over your leg? Try putting a little cornstarch powder on your leg first. It will make it slip up easier. Rest assured; with practice you will succeed. But you must keep trying. You will be rewarded with the use of a compression stocking, less pain, more walking ability, and it's successful feeling of accomplishment. Is that many things left in life that will give you that feeling. He's a little personal note on my part. If you buy stockings on Amazon? You keep trying until you get the right combination. The great thing about Amazon; easy returns. My belief, if I buy the lesser expensive stockings, I found they do the same job as the much more expensive ones. Also it gives me the opportunity of changing them, whenever I feel like it. It's very important that you check the length of the knee high stockings. Remember, you want them to come all the way up to your knee just below it. I am talking about this all from experience. I am not a doctor. Nor am I giving any medical advice. **Q: How many inches across does the opening measure where you put the stocking on and also what this the height from bottom to top of handles?** A: The horseshoe-shaped part is 5 1/2" across at the top, and the whole apparatus stands 18" tall (It slants back, so the overall length is a bit over 18"). **Q: Would this work for someone with a 24" calf?** A: I don't think so. The opening is only 6'' wide. My calf is 17.5'' and I have plenty of room, but I think 24'' may be difficult. Sorry. Good luck. **Q: I have a 23 inch calf will my leg fit in the donner?** A: My calf is 18" and there is room to spare. It is a half- circle, so your leg really doesn't go into it, so to speak. I love this thing- putting on my compression thigh highs is no longer a ten minute ordeal every morning! Good luck, my friend! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As good as it gets ... *by L***D on June 7, 2016* I've been wearing compression knee highs for several years due to CVI, so I'm sort of used to the process of getting them on and off.

I used it this morning to put on my TruForm open-toe compression socks and, while they are tight, the longer handles made “donning” them very easy. Once the socks were on my legs, I used the donning gloves to slip the top of the docks down a little, to have them about 1 1/2 inches below the top of my calf. I used the gloves to smooth out the wrinkles in the elastic fabric of the socks and I stood up and realized my calves feel very comfortable. The donner comes with very good user instructions with accompanying color pictures. I remain very impressed with TruForm and their line of products. *************** Original Review My vascular surgeon has me wearing 20-30 mmHg compression socks before vein surgery. She demonstrated their Truform Donner and it made putting on the tight socks very easy. I came home and purchased the Regular Zone Donner, like my doctor had used, and it works perfectly. But after inserting my toes and heel into the sock, I was having trouble reaching down far enough to grasp the handles and start using the frame to pull the sock up my leg to the point where I could let go of the handles and pull the top of the sock up. I took my Donner to an appointment on Thursday and showed her the problem and she said I need the larger Donner. I came home and initiated the return of my original purchase and went back to the Amazon listing and, seeing only two Donners listed, ordered the Large Zone Donner. It arrived today (Sunday) and it is HUGE! My socks won’t stretch over the sock expansion guide bars. So, I looked at the Amazon listing again and realized the descriptions include only a Regular Zone and a Large Zone - nothing said about a Tall Regular Zone Donner. I went to the Donner Page and looked, and then I re-read the Amazon listing and looked at all the pictures, and found that there are two Regular Zone donners - one with handles 13 inches tall, and another with handles that are 18 inches tall. But the TALL Regular Zone Donner isn’t one of the three choices in the Amazon listing. However, I scrolled down the listing and (finally) realized that there is a Truform-provided sizing chart with a full description of the three donners - and their individual Model Numbers. The REGULAR ZONE Donner with 13 inch handles is their Model 0752/R. The TALL REGULAR ZONE Donner is their Model 0752/T - and the Amazon listing has it mistakenly identified as something like “One Unit Package” - or words similar to that. (I can’t scroll up to check the exact wording without losing this writing) If you want the TALL Regular Zone Donner, it is identical to the Regular Zone Donner except the handles are five inches taller - making it much easier to use. I’m 5’8” and the 13 inch handles are just too short. The LARGE ZONE DONNER, Model 0752/L, has a “mouth,” or area for your foot/calf to start into the sock, that is 6 inches wide. Both REGULAR DONNERS are only 4 inches wide in that area. The handles on the LARGE ZONE DONNER are 18 inches and the “Donning Zone” (sock slide down area) is 10 inches high, one inch more than the REGULAR ZONE donners. Until the listing is changed, if you pick the item listed as “One Unit Package” (or similar description), scroll down until you see the manufacturer’s information about the item you picked and just verify that you are ordering the Model 0752/T. One other, very important discovery. Trying to slip the tight socks over the donner frame or up or down my leg was a pain in the tookas. They wrinkled or rolled up on my leg and my hands and fingers could not smooth them out. My doctor told me I need to wear gloves that have a rubberized gripping area. She handed me a pair and sliding the socks onto the donner frame and up onto my leg and smoothing them out was suddenly almost effortless. Truform sells Donner gloves for about $9, but I found that cheapy $1 gloves with rubber on the palms snd fingers worked - and blue Nitrile gloves also work. However, I bought the Truform gloves and they do work the best. I’m probably going to be wearing compression socks from now on, and the Truform socks and their Donners and Donning Gloves, are well-designed and work very well, like a system. My legs feel much better when the socks are on and smooth fitting. The donner frame and gloves make the task of getting the socks on a very easy task. ## Frequently Bought Together - Truform Stockings Donner, Helper for Applying Compression Socks, Regular Size Foot Zone for S-XL Garments - RMS Compression Stocking or Sock Aid for Removing Socks or Light to Medium Compression Hosiery for Men or Women with Arthritis or Limited Mobility (Blue) - Truform Donning Gloves for Medical Compression Stockings Pantyhose Support Tights, Increased Grip and Protection, 1 Pair --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/32072030-truform-stockings-donner-helper-for-applying-compression-socks-regular-size](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/32072030-truform-stockings-donner-helper-for-applying-compression-socks-regular-size) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
