Product Description

Ugoku Anti-Embolism Stocking UA-010 are hosiery products that help reduce the threat of blood clots forming in the legs. Ugoku Anti-embolism stockings improve blood circulation in the leg veins by applying graduated compression. Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a blood clot in the vein. When the blood clot is formed in deep veins of the legs it is called Deep Vein Thrombosis. If the clot somehow travels and reaches the lungs it is called as Pulmonary Embolism.

Whilst you are in hospital, and/or less active than usual, you may spend more time in bed or resting in a chair which means that you will not use the muscles in your legs as much as usual. This results in reduced blood flow in your leg veins which increases the possibility that a blood clot (a thrombosis) may form in your deep leg veins. Veins are the blood vessels which carry the blood towards the heart. Deep vein thrombosis is a serious condition. One of the ways to prevent a deep vein thrombosis, commonly called a DVT, is to wear anti embolic stockings during your period of immobility. The stockings are made of firm elastic which gently squeezes your legs and feet. The compression will help to increase the blood flow in your leg veins and therefore reduce clot formation.

The purpose of anti-embolism stockings is to apply appropriate pressure on legs varying from 8mmHg to 18mmHg, that helps prevent the occurrence of, and guards against further progression of venous disorders such thrombosis.
