Anti-embolism Stockings
Discover the anti‑embolism stockings line from RelaxSan Shop, clinically designed for thromboprophylaxis and prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). These medical-grade compression garments are ideal for use in clinical and hospital settings, before and after surgery.
When and Why to Use Anti‑Embolism Stockings
Anti‑embolism stockings are prescribed to prevent venous stasis and blood clots in immobile patients. They significantly reduce the risk of DVT, especially in individuals with varicose veins, limited mobility due to surgery, long-term hospitalization or pregnancy-related bedridden conditions :contentReference{index=1}.
How They Work
Designed to apply graduated compression — highest at the ankle, gradually decreasing up the leg — these stockings improve venous return and limit blood pooling. Clinical studies demonstrate they can lower DVT incidence by up to 60–80% in surgical patients :contentReference{index=2}.
Compression Levels & Product Range
RelaxSan offers anti‑embolism stockings for both women and men in the following compression classes:
- 18–23 mmHg: Moderate prevention
- 25–32 mmHg: Higher prophylactic grade
The range includes knee‑length, thigh‑length, thigh‑high pantyhose (monocollant), and stay‑up (autoreggenti) designs with reinforced heel and inspection toe opening for circulation checks :contentReference{index=3}.
Correct Usage & Medical Advice
These stockings should be worn during the entire period of immobility or bed rest, including overnight if recommended by a healthcare provider. Once mobility is regained, you can remove them—but only under medical supervision.
Proper fitting and wearing technique is crucial; poor placement (e.g. rolled top bands) may lead to pressure injuries or reduced effectiveness :contentReference{index=4}.
Styles & Fit for Patient Comfort
Available in multiple sizes and colours, all models include a comfortable elastic top band and anatomically shaped heel for enhanced fit. Both knee and thigh lengths are offered, giving patients flexibility and better compliance :contentReference{index=5}.
Quality & Safety Guaranteed
RelaxSan’s anti‑embolism stockings comply with UK and European standards for medical compression garments (e.g. Sigel pressure profile, BS7672), combining safety, reliability, and therapeutic efficacy :contentReference{index=6}.
