T.E.D.™ Anti-Embolism Stocking, Knee Length, 3XL, Regular, L46cm

T.E.D.™ Anti-Embolism Stockings apply the clinically proven graduated pressure pattern of 18 mmHg at the ankle, 14 mmHg at the calf, 8 mmHg at the popliteal, 10 mmHg at the lower thigh, and 8 mmHg at the higher thigh.¹ T.E.D.™ Anti-Embolism Stockings provide a baseline of protection and can be used as a sole modality or in combination with other forms of thromboprophylaxis, depending on individual patient risk. T.E.D.™ Anti-Embolism Stockings are clinically proven to reduce the incidence of DVT up to 50%¹ and to promote increased blood flow velocity in the legs 138%¹ of baseline by compression of the deep venous system. They have also been clinically proven to prevent the damaging effects of venous distension that occurs during surgery and hospitalization.²
