TED HOSE Full Product Line

T.E.D. Hose, manufactured previously by Covidien and now by Cardinal Health, are specifically designed to prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis, commonly referred to as DVT, and reduce pulmonary embolism risks by applying graduated compression. T.E.D. compression socks additionally improve circulation of the deep venous system, which is ideal for post-operative patients or individuals prone to blood clots. People who need lymphatic drainage also benefit from the effects of these stockings.

Featuring a graduated pressure pattern of 18 mmHg (millimeters of mercury, a manometric unit of pressure) at the ankle, 14 mmHg at the calf, 8 mmHg at the popliteal (area behind the knee), 10 mmHg at the lower thigh and 8 mmHg at the upper thigh, T.E.D. anti-embolism stockings have been clinically validated in physician-reviewed published studies on over 20,000 patients. Other studies have highlighted the benefits of using T.E.D. hose, a few of which are cited below.
