Applications:

• Clinically proven to reduce the risk of developing DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis or blood clots)
• Promotes increased blood flow velocity in the legs
• Helps prevent venous distension

How do I determine proper size?

• Measure the calf circumference at the greatest portion to determine the size.
• Measure the distance from the bend of the knee to the bottom of the heel to determine length. (If possible, measure length while in a standing position).

Stockings are not recommended for patients with the following:

• Any local leg condition in which stockings would interfere, such as dermatitis, immediate post operative vein ligation, gangrene or recent skin graft
• Severe arteriosclerosis or other ischemic vascular disease
• Massive edema (swelling) of legs
• Pulmonary edema from congestive heart failure

Precautions:

• Do not allow your stocking to roll down as this may cause constrictions and impede blood flow
• Do not turn down the top of the stocking
• The stitch change (change in fabric sheerness) should fall between one and two inches below the bend in the knee

Washing and Drying Instructions:

• May be washed in commercial washers with other “light” goods. Water temperature should not exceed 160˚F (71˚C).
• Avoid excessive bleach
• May be dried in commercial dryers with a temperature going from that of the wet wash to a maximum of 250˚F (121˚C) over a time period of 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the dryer when the drying cycle is completed, since temperatures rise sharply when the load is dry. Prolonged heat can reduce the wear life.
