Frequently asked questions
How do these stockings help prevent blood clots?
These stockings utilize gradient compression therapy, delivering 15 to 18 mmHg of pressure. This pressure is most intense at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg to effectively encourage blood flow in non-ambulatory patients, helping to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Why is an inspection toe feature important?
The inspection toe design allows healthcare providers or caregivers to quickly and easily monitor the patient’s circulation and skin condition at the toes without the need to remove the entire stocking.
How can I be sure the size fits correctly?
To ensure a correct and effective fit, every package includes a measuring tape and utilizes clear, color-coded sizing charts to guide you through the selection process.
Are these suitable for home care environments?
Yes, these professional-grade stockings are ideal for use in clinical settings, hospitals, and home care environments, specifically for supporting patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility.
Is the compression level constant throughout the leg?
No, it is a graduated compression garment. It provides 15 to 18 mmHg of pressure that is highest at the ankle and becomes progressively lighter as it moves up toward the knee.
Does this require a professional to apply it?
While these are professional-grade garments often used in clinical settings, they are designed for standard care protocols. With the provided sizing tools, they are straightforward to apply for both healthcare staff and home caregivers.
What is the intended duration for wearing these?
These stockings are designed to be used in conjunction with standard post-operative or long-term care protocols for non-ambulatory patients. Please follow the specific care plan provided by the patient’s medical professional for recommended wear duration.
Will the band at the top be too tight?
The stockings are designed with a secure, non-binding band at the knee, which is intended to keep the garment in place comfortably without causing restriction.
Are these considered high-quality medical grade?
Yes, these are professional-grade medical garments manufactured by Medline, specifically engineered for clinical-grade blood circulation support and DVT risk reduction.
What comes in the box?
Each box includes the anti-embolism stockings and a measuring tape to assist in verifying the correct fit for the patient.
