Covidien TED Anti-Embolism Stocking have been clinically proven to reduce the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in physician reviewed, published studies on hospitalized patients and to promote increased blood flow velocity in the legs.
Indications
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT for short) is the name given to blood clots that can form in the veins of your leg following surgery or long periods of bed rest in the hospital, among other reasons. If the clot becomes loose, it can break away and travel through the veins to the heart and lungs and may block a major blood vessel. This is known as a Pulmonary Embolism or PE. Pulmonary Embolism is a serious condition which in some cases may be fatal.
There are three major factors that may cause a DVT to form:
T.E.D.â„¢ ANTI-EMBOLISM STOCKINGS HELP REDUCE THE THREAT OF BLOOD CLOTS FORMING IN YOUR LEGS.
Blood clots can form in anyone, but the threat of their formation is much greater during a hospital stay. T.E.D. anti-embolism stockings improve blood circulation in the leg veins by applying graduated compression.
USING Covidien TED Anti-Embolism Stocking
Not all anti-embolism stockings have been clinically shown to provide the same protection as T.E.D. anti-embolism stockings, which are recognizable by the T.E.D. logo clearly visible on the foot. Therefore, a member of staff must measure you correctly using a fitting chart before applying stockings. Not only that, but Correct fitting will also avoid discomfort or skin irritation and help maximize your protection. At the same time, your stockings should be worn during your stay in the hospital as directed by your doctor or nurse. Furthermore, you should wash and inspect your legs daily and report any concerns immediately to your doctor or nurse. Change your stocking every 2-3 days.
