Anti-Embolism Stockings

Anti-embolism stockings are specialized compression garments designed to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by promoting healthy blood circulation in the legs. These stockings apply graduated pressure, which is highest at the ankle and decreases up the leg, encouraging blood flow back to the heart and reducing venous stasis. Often used in hospital settings, they are particularly beneficial for patients who are bedridden, recovering from surgery, or experiencing limited mobility. Made from breathable, comfortable materials, anti-embolism stockings are typically available in various lengths, from knee-high to thigh-high, and may feature open or closed toes depending on patient preference and needs. They play a crucial role in post-operative care and other medical scenarios where the risk of blood clots is elevated, helping to safeguard patient health during recovery periods.
