Description
Dynamic DVT - 18 Anti Embolism Stockings are designed to help minimize the chances of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), particularly for individuals who are immobile for long periods, such as during or after surgery. These below-the-knee stockings provide a mechanical pumping action to assist blood flow and reduce the possibility of clot formation. They are specifically intended for non-mobile or bed-confined patients to manage circulation.
Graduated Compression: Applies 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 leg's contours, 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 these stockings used for?
A: These anti-embolism stockings are designed to reduce the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), especially for post-surgical, reclining, or bed-confined patients. They apply graduated compression to the leg to aid blood flow and help prevent blood clot formation.
Q: How do the stockings help prevent blood clots?
A: The stockings provide a mechanical pumping action by applying gentle, graduated pressure to the legs. This pressure is highest at the ankle (18mmHg) and decreases up the leg, which assists in forcing blood through the veins and reduces blood stagnation.
Q: Who should use these stockings?
A: They are intended for individuals at an increased risk of DVT, such as patients recovering from surgery, those with limited mobility or who are bedridden, and individuals on long-distance travel. It is always recommended to consult a healthcare provider to determine if these stockings are appropriate for your condition.
Q: What is the purpose of the hole in the toe area?
A: The peep-hole design allows for easy inspection of the toes and skin by a doctor or caregiver without needing to remove the entire stocking. This helps in checking the skin color and circulation.
Q: How should I care for the stockings?
A: It is generally advised to remove the stockings for a short period daily to inspect your skin. They should be changed every 2-3 days or more often if they become soiled. Avoid using bleach, oils, or lanolin on the stockings as these can damage the elastic fibers.
