Is it collapseble to put in a suitcase?

No it is not. It's quite bulky, but light-weight. If I took it with me in a suitcase, I would stuff clothing in and around it to save space.

is this helpful to also remove stockings?

Y E S this can and it is easy to remove your stockings, you flip the entire unit upside down and place the curve end behind your calf. Pull up some fabric to get it started then start pushing downward but make sure the stocking is totally over the edges of the curved support. The other trick next is to make sure your foot is 90 degrees and NOT pointed. You only point foot while putting on stockings. My stockings are strictly medical 30/40'S Knee high,open toe. I'm 70 years old, extremely bad back I mean extreme. Right wrist was fused in 1996 and is now totally at it's end again. My first experience with stocking in April 2018, I did not even know about Donner devices. I manage to rough pull them for about and month so I quit wearing compressions. I just can't....even using the paper sock thingy was unbearable and for me and trying to pull them off was the end of me. All the money in the world wouldn't allow me any further torment. So over 2 years later I went back to my Vascular surgeon and said this is crap. He mentioned they make Donner devices. Anyways I need I'm here to tell you this is a life saver for me as this works great but from reading this message thread and instructions from Jobst Corporation I'm trying to figure out why in the world the company hasn't instructed people on how also us the device to remove the stockings. Maybe liability issues but the way I see this is simple if I put stockings on I better have a way to take them off or I won't ware the stockings. My Calf size is 14.5", I do have a wide feet. Sincerely, Bob

I have a large cafe, can I get some measurements?

Yes. My calf measures 15 inches at its largest. The Donner's measurement, the circumference, seems to be about 14 inches. It is difficult to measure since it is open for only part of its "circle". The front of it is open to let the foot and leg in. Since the calf tissue is not bone, it does give, and I can pull the Donner up my leg to my knee, where it stops at the bone. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarification on anything I said.

How do I use stocking donner with custom-made (30-40 mm/Hg)stocking?

I am not sure I understand the question, since I am not familiar with the stocking described. I find the donner is an aid at best and not truly as described. After practice and developing a technique, it does help but limited. Sorry I can not give a more definitive answer but I found it does not work as smoothly as described and requires some experimentation and personal technique.
