 Compression SocksOn founder – Mike Milligan Imagine you couldn’t put your socks on because you had broken your back, just come out of surgery or were simply struggling with mobility in old age. Socks On was born out of our founder – Mike Milligan’s frustration from these common issues and decided to do something about it! In very simple terms, SocksOn is a dressing aid which takes the pain and hassle out of putting on both Compression Socks and regular socks!

Why Compression SocksOn?
After an operation, hospitals spend a lot of time helping patients get their socks on! – Wouldn’t it be easier for everybody if patients could do it themselves?
The same applies for Care homes and Nurses providing in-home care for the elderly.
Think of how that time could be better spent if your patients were able to get their socks on themselves!
SocksOn has TWO different dressing aids for applying socks:
Personal SocksOn Dressing Aid (Private Use)
Compression SocksOn Dressing Aid (Commercial Use)
Although both models appear identical at a glance, there are some key fundamental changes in the components internally that differentiate them.
The Compression SocksOn model has been designed with heavy duty use in mind. Ideal for care homes, retirement villages and hospitals, the compression socks on aid features a larger winding belt, making it stronger , and resistant to wear, a stronger PVC base with wheels for easy transport and rubber handle grips. These enhancements ensure the compression socks on model is robust enough to cope with the demanding stresses of continuous use, in environments such as hospitals, which the personal in-home model cannot.
Both models exceed the weight threshold for break tests by twice what is required, and have recently been awarded the CE Marking for sale and distribution in the UK and Europe!
