Dynamic DVT-18 Anti-Embolism Stockings are designed to help reduce the chances of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), especially for individuals who are immobile for extended periods, such as during or after surgery. These below-knee stockings facilitate a mechanical pumping action to aid blood flow and decrease the likelihood of clot formation. They are particularly intended for non-mobile or bed-confined patients to help manage circulation. The graduated compression design applies pressure to assist in forcing blood through the veins, which helps lower the possibility of clot formation.
Graduated Compression: Applies a maximum pressure of 18mmHg at the ankle, with the pressure gradually decreasing up the leg to aid blood flow.
Contour Fit: The stockings are anatomically shaped to fit the contours of the leg, providing support and comfort.
Inspection Hole: Features a peep-hole design at the toe, which allows for easy inspection of the toes and skin without needing to remove the stocking.
Breathable Material: Made from a soft, breathable fabric with a non-restrictive top band to ensure comfort during extended wear.
Massaging Action: Provides a gentle massaging action that can help reduce swelling in the legs.
Q: What are Dynamic DVT Anti Embolism Stockings used for?
A: These stockings are designed to help reduce the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), a condition where blood clots form in the deep veins of the legs. They are often recommended for individuals who are immobile for long periods, such as post-surgery or bed-confined patients.
Q: How do these stockings work?
A: They apply graduated compression, with the highest pressure at the ankle (18mmHg) that lessens up the leg. This mechanical pumping action helps to increase blood circulation and prevents blood from stagnating and clotting in the veins.
Q: Who should use these anti-embolism stockings?
A: These are intended for post-surgical, reclining, or bed-confined patients at risk of DVT. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional to determine if these stockings are appropriate for your specific condition.
Q: How do I choose the correct size?
A: To ensure a proper fit, measure the circumference of your calf at its widest point and your ankle above the ankle bone. It is recommended to take these measurements in the morning, as legs can swell throughout the day.
Q: How should I care for the stockings?
A: It is generally recommended to hand wash the stockings with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Do not wring them out; instead, air dry them away from direct heat to preserve the elastic fibers.
Aids in preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, especially for post-surgical or bed-confined patients.
Improves blood circulation in the legs by providing graduated compression.
Helps reduce swelling and the feeling of tired, aching legs.
Provides support for individuals with reduced mobility to maintain venous return.
The peep-hole design allows a doctor to easily check skin color and toenails for circulation.
It is advisable to put on the stockings in the morning.
Sit in a comfortable position with your leg raised.
You may find it helpful to wear gloves for application.
Turn the stocking inside out up to the heel pocket.
Slide your foot into the stocking, making sure the heel is correctly positioned in the heel pocket.
Gradually pull the rest of the stocking up the leg, smoothing out any wrinkles.
Ensure the top band sits about 3-5cm below the knee and is not rolled down, as this can restrict circulation.
It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before use to ensure the correct size and compression level for your condition.
Do not use on patients with conditions such as severe arterial blood flow disorders, dermatitis, gangrene, or recent skin grafts.
Remove the stockings if you experience pain, discomfort, numbness, or notice any skin discoloration, and consult a professional.
Regularly check the skin for any signs of redness or soreness.
For hygiene, wash the stockings according to the provided instructions; avoid using bleach, oils, or lanolin as they can damage the elastic fibers.
The material composition is a blend of Nylon and Elastane. It is recommended to measure for size in the morning, as legs can swell during the day. Stockings should be laundered every 2 to 3 days to maintain elasticity. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
