Dynamic DVT Anti-Embolism Stockings are designed to help minimize the chances of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), particularly for individuals who are post-surgical, reclining, or confined to bed. These stockings work by providing a mechanical pumping action that assists in moving blood through the veins, which can reduce the possibility of clot formation when a person is immobile for extended periods. The graduated compression applies pressure that is firmest at the ankle and decreases up the leg, aiding blood flow back to the heart.
Graduated Compression: Applies maximum pressure at the ankle (18mmHg) and gradually reduces up the leg to aid blood flow and ease venous backflow. Contour Fitted Design: Shaped to fit the contours of the leg for comfortable and appropriate compression. Inspection Hole: A peep-hole design at the toe allows for easy inspection of the skin and toes by caregivers. Breathable Material: Made from a blend of Nylon (75%) and Elastane (25%), with a non-restrictive top-band for added comfort. European Standards: Manufactured using European machinery and imported yarn to ensure accurate compression.
Q: What is the purpose of DVT Anti-Embolism Stockings?
A: These stockings are designed to help prevent the formation of blood clots, known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in the legs. They are often recommended for individuals with restricted mobility, such as post-surgery or bedridden patients.
Q: How do these stockings work?
A: They apply graduated pressure to the legs, which is firmest at the ankle and decreases upwards. This pressure helps improve blood flow back towards the heart and prevents blood from pooling in the leg veins.
Q: Who should use these above-knee stockings?
A: Use of these stockings is typically recommended by a healthcare professional for individuals at risk of DVT, such as those recovering from surgery or with limited ability to move. It is advisable to consult a doctor to see if these are suitable for your condition.
Q: How do I put on the stockings correctly?
A: Turn the stocking inside out to the heel, then position it over your foot and heel. Gradually pull the rest of the stocking up your leg, ensuring it is smooth without any wrinkles or rolling.
Q: How long should I wear the anti-embolism stockings?
A: You should wear the stockings as directed by your healthcare provider. Often, they are worn day and night until your mobility improves, but you should always follow the specific instructions given to you.
Aids in preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), especially for post-surgical and bed-confined patients. Improves blood circulation in the legs through accurate, graduated compression. Provides a massaging action that can help reduce swelling and feelings of heaviness in the legs. Designed for comfort during periods of immobility with a soft, breathable fabric. Helps in the management of symptoms associated with venous disorders, such as tired and aching legs.
It is advisable to wear gloves for easier application. Sit in a comfortable position and turn the stocking inside out up to the heel pocket. Slide the foot portion of the stocking over your foot and ensure the heel is correctly placed in the heel pocket. Gently pull the remaining part of the stocking up the leg. Smooth out any wrinkles with a gentle upward motion, ensuring the stocking is not pulled excessively to avoid a tourniquet effect at the top.
Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions. Ensure you select the correct size by measuring the leg circumference for a proper fit. Remove the stockings for at least 30 minutes daily to inspect your skin for any irritation, pain, numbness, or discoloration, and to maintain hygiene. Avoid leaving the stockings rolled down your legs, as this can restrict circulation. Do not use oils, lanolin, or similar ointments on your legs before wearing, as they can damage the stocking's fibers. If you experience pain, numbness, or discoloration of the toes, it may indicate the stockings are too tight; consult your doctor.
Material Composition: 75% Nylon and 25% Elastane. The product is available in multiple sizes from X-Small to XX-Large. This is an above-knee (AG) style stocking. For care, hand washing is recommended. The stockings are white in color.
