TruForm Anti Embolism Stockings 18 Compression (Closed Toe)

The main function is to reduce the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), where blood clots form in deep veins, and the potentially life-threatening complication of a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs).
The stockings apply graduated compression, which is greatest at the ankle (18 mmHg) and decreases gradually up the leg. This pressure helps to gently squeeze the leg veins, improving the velocity of blood flow back to the heart and preventing blood from pooling in the extremities.
Reduced Swelling and Edema: By promoting better circulation, the stockings help treat and prevent swelling and fluid retention (edema) in the ankles, feet, and legs, which often occurs during periods of inactivity.
They are specifically recommended for post-operative patients recovering in a bed-confined or reclining position to support the circulatory system while mobility is limited.
Roomy closed toe box ensures a comfortable fit and prevents compression or chafing on sensitive feet.
Soft, non-constricting top band keeps the stocking in place without digging into the skin or restricting circulation.
Reinforced heel pocket adds durability and helps ensure the stocking is positioned correctly on the foot for proper anatomical fit.
