Kilgore's Medical Pharmacy is a specialist in compression garments. We have a wide variety of styles and brands that include Medi and Jobst brands for graduated compression stockings. There are over-the-counter compressions and three different classes (I, II, and III) of therapeutic prescription levels. Both the prescription and over-the-counter stockings are available in knee-high, thigh-high, waist-high, and maternity styles. TED hose, nongraduated compression stockings for patients who are bedridden, are also available. Other compression products found at Kilgore's are lymphedema sleeves, gauntlets, gloves, and a rental lymphedema pump to help relieve swelling in the arms and legs.

Patients just need to stop by the pharmacy and talk to our Support Hose specialist. She is a certified fitter for all compression garments and provides personalized service to make sure patients get the products that suit them the best, including placing custom orders. She can even see patients at hospitals and nursing homes if necessary.

Most insurance companies will not pay for compression stockings.
