Description

Designed for clinical effectiveness, these thigh-high compression stockings are tailored to support patients in reducing the risk of blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. Ideal for those who are immobile, bedridden, or recovering post-surgery, they promote healthy blood circulation and help manage swelling, edema, and venous insufficiency.

Key Features

• Graduated Compression: With a level of 18 mmHg at the ankle, the compression decreases up the leg, enhancing circulation.
• Adaptive Fit: The two-way stretch fabric accommodates various leg lengths and widths, ensuring a comfortable fit.
• Breathable Material: High breathability and moisture absorbance provide comfort throughout wear.
• Secure Positioning: A slip-proof silicone or non-restrictive top band keeps the stocking in place.
• Inspection Opening: A colour-marked heel or peep-hole allows for easy positioning and circulation checks.

Material and Design

Crafted from 75–80% Nylon and 20–25% Spandex/Elastane, these stockings are soft, skin-friendly, and latex-free. The white colour and thigh-high length are complemented by a 400-needle count for a smooth, comfortable fit. Designed for both men and women, they are available in a wide range of sizes, including options for wider calves.
