T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings Knee Length

T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings, knee-length, are designed to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by promoting blood flow in bedridden or post-surgical patients. These stockings apply graduated compression, with the highest pressure at the ankle, decreasing up the leg. This enhances circulation, reducing the risk of clot formation. Knee-length stockings cover the lower leg, offering a balance of comfort and effectiveness, and are easier to put on than thigh-high options. Made from soft, breathable materials, they ensure patient comfort during extended wear. T.E.D. stockings are commonly used in hospitals to support venous health and recovery, making them a vital component of patient care in situations with increased clotting risk.

How to Wash T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings:

Washing T.E.D. anti-embolism stockings properly is important to maintain their effectiveness and longevity. Here are some general steps for washing them:

1. Hand Wash Recommended:

   • Fill a basin with lukewarm water.
   • Add a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics.

2. Gently Agitate:

   • Submerge the stockings and gently agitate them in the water to loosen any dirt or oils.

3. Rinse Thoroughly:

   • Rinse the stockings under cool, running water until all soap is removed.

4. Do Not Wring:

   • Gently press out excess water without wringing or twisting the stockings to maintain their elasticity.

5. Dry Properly:

   • Lay them flat on a clean towel and roll the towel to remove remaining moisture.
   • Reshape the stockings if necessary, and lay them flat to air dry—away from direct heat or sunlight.

6. Avoid Machine Washing/Drying:

   • Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and elastic fibers.

Following these steps will help keep your T.E.D. stockings in good condition. Always refer to the care instructions on the product packaging for specific guidance
