Description

Bare Medical's SafetySole™ Stockings are meticulously designed to enhance patient safety and care in medical settings. These anti-embolism stockings are crafted to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) while significantly reducing the risk of slips and falls, thanks to their globally patented silicone Safety Sole.

Key Features

• Graduated Compression: The stockings feature a proven Sigel compression profile, promoting optimal blood circulation and preventing blood pooling and clotting. This makes them ideal for immobile patients before, during, and after surgery.

• Antimicrobial Fabric: Treated with UltraFresh antimicrobial technology, the fabric remains effective against over 99.99% of S. Aureus even after 30 washes, ensuring long-lasting hygiene.

• Versatile Sizing: Available in a comprehensive range of sizes from Small to XXX Large, including bariatric and short options. The stockings come in knee-high and thigh-high versions, with multiple lengths to ensure a perfect fit for every patient.

Practical Design

• Colour Coding: Each size is colour coded for easy identification, simplifying the fitting process with included applicator bag and tape measure.

• Open Toe Area: Allows healthcare providers to easily assess circulation.

• Elastic Fabric: Provides a snug fit around the ankles and legs, typically exerting 18 mmHg pressure to encourage upward blood flow.

Application Instructions

For optimal use, ensure the heel of the stocking aligns with the user's heel and remains wrinkle-free. The top of knee-high stockings should sit two fingers' width below the kneecap to avoid circulation issues. It's recommended to use compression stocking applicators for easier application and to remove stockings before bed unless otherwise directed.

Care Instructions

• Washing: Wash every three days or when soiled using mild soap and cold water. Air dry flat and avoid wringing, twisting, tumble drying, or ironing.

• Replacement: Replace stockings after six months or if they become too loose, too tight, or show signs of wear such as holes or fraying.

Ideal for

These stockings are particularly suited for hospitalized or immobile patients at risk of DVT, as well as for managing post-surgical and post-traumatic oedema. With their innovative design and comprehensive care instructions, SafetySole™ Stockings provide a reliable solution for enhancing patient safety and recovery in healthcare environments.
