Anti-Embolism Stockings for Compression Therapy
Anti-embolism stockings are a type of compression stocking that is worn on the leg to help prevent blood clots from forming. They work by compressing the veins and muscles in the leg, which helps to keep the blood flowing smoothly. This can help to prevent blood clots from forming in the veins, which can lead to a number of serious health complications.

Anti-embolism stockings are a type of compression stocking that is worn to help prevent blood clots from forming in the legs. The stockings work by applying pressure to the legs, which helps to keep the blood flowing. They are often worn by people who are at risk for blood clots, such as those who have had a stroke or who are pregnant.
The Anti-Embolism Compression Stockings are designed improve blood flow from your legs back to your heart. Designed to provide medium leg support (18 mmHg), the compression stockings are made of 71% nylon and 29% spandex for smooth, comfortable wear, and feature an open-toe style for easy foot inspection and extra comfort. Latex free.
How to measure for Antiembolism Stockings:
1. Measure the patient carefully to ensure that his antiembolism stockings provide enough compression for adequate venous return.
2. To choose the correct knee-length stocking, measure the circumference of the calf at its widest point (top left) and the leg length from the bottom of the heel to the back of the knee (bottom left).
3. To choose a thigh-high length stocking, measure the calf as for a knee-length stocking and the thigh at its widest point (top right). Then measure the leg length from the bottom of the heel to the gluteal fold (bottom right).
Ensure that patients who develop edema or postoperative swelling have their legs remeasured and antiembolism stockings refitted.

What does ‘Moderate Support’ mean?
Our stockings provide approximately 18 mmHg compression for comfortable wear. While appropriate for relieving heaviness or fatigue in the legs, this level of compression also helps improve circulation in order to aid in the prevention of varicosities and swelling.
