Description
Lipoteks Antiembolism Socks (Calf) is below-knee anti-embolism stockings used to reduce clot risk. Graduated compression is strongest at the ankle and decreases up the leg, which is what drives blood back towards the heart.
Uses
- Reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis during immobility, surgery or long travel
- Supports venous return from the lower legs
- Below-knee length, easier to apply
How to Use
Put on first thing in the morning before swelling develops, smoothing evenly up the leg with no bunching or folding. Remove at night.
Important
Correct sizing is essential – measure according to the size chart before buying, as a support that is too tight restricts circulation and one that is too loose gives no benefit. Put compression garments on first thing in the morning before swelling develops, and never fold or roll the top down, as this creates a tourniquet effect. Remove at night. Do not use with peripheral arterial disease, and consult a doctor before use with diabetes or reduced sensation in the legs.
