Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) causes clots to develop in your blood vessels. When one of these clots becomes loose, it may potentially travel to your lungs, resulting in pulmonary embolism, a life-threatening condition. Reducing your risks means addressing the source: In this case, that involves improving circulation in your legs to manage DVT.
Cardinal Health’s T.E.D.™ Anti-Embolism Stockings fulfill this role, applying gradual and variable degrees of compression to improve blood flow rate through the legs.
What Are T.E.D.™ Stockings?
With their effects supported by multiple clinical studies, Cardinal Health T.E.D.™ Knee Length Anti-Embolism Stockings, Open Toe become key for lowering deep vein thrombosis risks. Patients are susceptible to blood clots as they recover from surgery, if they live with untreated varicose veins or when they are on bedrest, known to cause circulatory problems in the lower leg and foot.
Latex free and delivering graduated compression to encourage blood circulation in the veins of the legs, T.E.D.™ stockings help address venous stasis and vessel wall damage, helping move blood through the vessels back to the heart rather than pool in the calves and ankles. For managing DVT, T.E.D.™ stockings:
- Accommodate a range of patients, including those living with high-risk obesity.
- Fit over larger thighs and knees.
- Feature a defined heel pocket to ensure the stockings are worn correctly.
- Use a clinically proven pressure pattern to aid blood flow and reduce venous distension, and add a pressure break at the popliteal vein to prevent pooling in this area.
- Apply compression gradually, from 8mmHg around the upper thigh to 10mmHg around the lower thigh, 14mmHg around the calf and 18mmHg around the ankle.
- Include an open-toe design for quick and straightforward skin inspection.
- Are equipped with an interrupted band and a two-ply gusset to reduce a potential tourniquet effect around the femoral vein.
- Are free of natural rubber and latex.
The open toe design is often preferred if your doctor needs to check the toes and feet periodically. This form also adds more room around the toes for movement and keeps them cool during warmer months.
