JOBST® Ranked #1 Physician Recommended Compression Therapy Brand in US
CHARLOTTE, N.C., February 1, 2018
BSN medical, a global provider of integrated medical therapy solutions, today announced that its JOBST® compression therapy line has been ranked the number one physician recommended brand in the United States among American Medical Association physicians who recommend a brand, according to a survey conducted by SERMO, the world’s largest healthcare professional polling company.
Conrad Jobst, a sufferer of varicose veins who developed elastic stockings with optimal fit and gradient pressure, founded JOBST in 1950. Today, BSN medical, formerly BSN-JOBST, continues to honor Jobst’s legacy of innovation with the same commitment to offering compression products that provide performance, comfort and confidence for people suffering from vascular insufficiencies and/or lymphedema.
“Telling my patients the personal story of Conrad Jobst and his invention is a powerful education tool, which helps me to concretely explain the need for wearing graduated JOBST stockings,” said Fedor Lurie, MD, associate director of the JOBST Vascular Institute in Toledo, Ohio, and an adjunct research professor at the University of Michigan.
“Conrad Jobst had severe chronic venous disease (CVD) and he noticed that his leg felt much better when he stood in the swimming pool,” continued Dr. Lurie. “His engineering mind immediately connected this with the graduated hydrostatic pressure of the water, so he designed a stocking that worked exactly like the water in the pool.”
