- About TED stockings: TED anti-embolism stockings are designed to speed blood flow with graduated compression but are different from support stockings or compression hose. They are used for non-ambulatory convalescing persons to prevent blood clots. These stockings are made of nylon.
- Benefits:
- Promote comfortable fit without the constriction caused by harsh seams and ridges - Provide easy access for medical examination - Protect critical popliteal area and promotes free leg movement - Easily adjustable, minimize slippage - Reduce DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) incidence by 50% which has been proved in a wide variety of medical/surgical specialities - Significantly reduce venous distention to combat clot formation - Increase blood flow in femoral vein by 38% - Prevent tourniquet effect with an interrupted band and functional two-ply panel - Protect patients after discharge - Help ensure uninterrupted baseline protection whatever the patient's level of risk or when pneumatic/impulse compression is interrupted - 100% latex-free - A clinically proven pressure pattern of 18mmHg at the ankle, 14mmHg at the calf, 8mmHg at the knee, 10mmHg at the mid-thigh, 8mmHg at the upper thigh increases blood flow velocity 138% and reduces venous distension - Inlay circumferential knit with one-way stretch delivers the clinically proven pressure pattern to the appropriate areas - A pressure break at the popliteal vein ensures that blood will continue to flow Smoothly through this critical area prevent a tourniquet effect at the femoral vein
